I am not surprised that he got elected with doing that shit, but I am surprised that he went to the cops first and they didn't press any charges and/or he isn't being sued by that report (or is he. I honestly haven't been keeping up with this story).

Cops were called immediately, statements taken, no one was detained, charges brought within 24 hours. Gianforte's hearing was scheduled a few days ago, extension requested and given.

No civil lawsuits have been filed, that I know of.

Ben Jacobs' broken glasses now reside at The Newseum.

Ah, okay. For some reason, I thought that there were no charges being put forth but thanks and that. Also, won't the glasses be evidence of the crime and rest with the police?

The Guardian’s Ben Jacobs, whose glasses were broken when Montana Republican Greg Gianforte attacked him, will donate the mangled spectacles to the Newseum in Washington, D.C.
