The chief of staff for Rep. Pete Sessions, a Texas Republican, was charged Wednesday with bringing a firearm into the US Capitol complex, according to court documents obtained by CNN.
Luis Angel Vega appeared in DC Superior Court Friday on the charges, which stem from an alleged incident in December.
Vega faces two counts: carrying a gun outside his home without a license and carrying a firearm onto the Capitol grounds.
He was in handcuffs and his white ***** on-down shirt was untucked. A judge released him without setting bail.
In December, Capitol security officers found the black pistol and ammunition Vega allegedly carried when he sent his bag through a security checkpoint at the entrance of a House office building that's part of the Capitol complex, the court documents said. They then instructed Vega to lock up the firearm in his car and then return for his bag to be re-screened, which he did, according to the filings.
