Brian Schwalb, the Democratic attorney general in Washington, D.C., has dropped charges against Gold Star father Steve Nikoui for disrupting Congress during President Biden's State of the Union speech earlier this month.
Nikoui is the father of Kareem Nikoui who was killed during the Biden Administration’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.
Fox News learned of the decision Tuesday evening. The decision to drop the charges was confirmed by the Speaker’s Office.

Nikoui shouted "Abbey Gate!" during the speech to shame Biden over his craven and incompetent bug-out from Afghanistan. It didn't work; the architects of the Kabul Bug-Out were on Capitol Hill this week claiming to have been successful at disengaging from Afghanistan in a performance that can be called literally shameless. I suspect that the White House doesn't want this story to keep percolating in the media to draw attention to their cowardice.
