The United States Attorney for the District of Columbia will not pursue an investigation into whether the demonstrators who attacked Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and others following President Donald Trump’s Republican National Convention acceptance speech at the White House are affiliated with any national groups like “Antifa.”

Paul was one of several people attacked by a number of protesters as he left the White House speech back in late August. The mob, whom Paul said numbered in the dozens, screamed at the Kentucky Senator and demanded that he pursue justice for Breonna Taylor, a Louisville, Kentucky, woman killed by police during a raid earlier this year.
