"House Ethics Committee Ends Probe into Rep. Jamaal Bowman's Capitol False Alarm"

TL;DR Summary
The House Ethics Committee has dropped its investigation into Representative Jamaal Bowman for pulling a House fire alarm, but released a report finding his explanations "less than credible and otherwise misleading." The report included encrypted text messages and video evidence contradicting Bowman's claims that he pulled the alarm while rushing to make a vote. Instead, it showed he was heading to a Democratic caucus meeting and walked away from the alarm without alerting anyone, prompting an evacuation of a House office building.
