House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., called for an investigation into progressive Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., who was questioned Saturday by the Capitol Police's criminal investigation unit after he pulled a fire alarm in one of the House's office buildings while lawmakers were scrambling to come to a vote to avert a government shutdown.
He noted Bowman's action was caught on camera, and said he will be speaking with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., about the incident, as it "should not go without punishment." "Rep. Jamal Bowman pulled a fire alarm in Cannon this morning. An investigation into why it was pulled is underway," Committee Chair Bryan Steil, R-Wis., said in a statement about the New York Democrat's action.
