Democrat Jamaal Bowman denies that he did so to delay a key vote.
WASHINGTON: Democratic US representative Jamaal Bowman faced investigation today, the morning after he pulled a fire alarm in the Capitol complex as his party was trying to delay a key vote, prompting an evacuation of a congressional office building.
Police said they were investigating the incident, as is the House Administration Committee, a Republican-controlled congressional panel that oversees the House grounds. The House was about to vote on a bipartisan bill to keep the government open for 45 days and avoid a shutdown. “Today, as I was rushing to make a vote, I came to a door that is usually open for votes but today would not open,” Bowman said in a statement posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
