Maxine Waters and Elizabeth Warren may need legal representation as journalist Nick Sortor plans to file assault charges against them. According to Sortor’s statements and video evidence, he was attempting to ask them questions at separate times when individuals allegedly laid hands on him. He now believes there is a possible case for assault, whether against Waters and Warren directly or members of their teams. Benny Johnson provided further details, reporting that Sortor is reaching out to DC District Attorney Ed Martin to proceed with the charges.
Sortor stated, “I’m doing that right after this. I was taking punches and pushes. I was simply trying to get answers. No aggression.” He maintains that he was only seeking responses when the physical altercations occurred. The incidents have sparked discussions about press freedom and the treatment of journalists while covering political figures. The situation is developing as legal action is considered.
