The House Ethics Committee will not take disciplinary action against Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), once again declining to open an inquiry into the New York Democrat after he falsely pulled a fire alarm in a congressional building last year.
The decision comes after the Office of Congressional Ethics recommended an investigation into allegations that Bowman “may have willfully or knowingly given a false alarm” to disrupt congressional proceedings. However, the committee voted to reject the request because Bowman was censured by the House late last year on similar charges, arguing that any further action would be moot.
