ST. PAUL, Minn. (KFGO/Learfield) – A man accused of attacking congresswoman Ilhan Omar at a north Minneapolis town hall is expected to plead guilty.
Anthony Kazmierczak, 55, has reached a plea agreement with federal prosecutors, with a change-of-plea hearing set for next month.
Video shows Kazmierczak spraying a liquid from a syringe toward Omar. He was quickly subdued by security. The liquid was a mixture of apple cider vinegar and water.
