TL;DR

US Congressman Jamaal Bowman, a Democrat from New York, is expected to plead guilty to triggering a false fire alarm in a Capitol office building. Bowman claims it was accidental, but Republicans accused him of deliberately sabotaging a vote. He is facing a misdemeanor charge and could be fined up to $1,000 and sentenced to six months in prison. If he follows bail conditions for three months, the charges may be dropped. Bowman has apologized and will write an apology letter.
