A man has been charged with setting a fire outside the Vermont office of U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, federal prosecutors announced on Sunday. The incident occurred when the man, identified as a 35-year-old from California, entered the building on Friday and proceeded to Sanders' third-floor office. Security footage revealed that he sprayed a liquid on the door and ignited it.
Although the fire caused some damage to the building's interior and triggered sprinklers to douse the area with water, fortunately, no injuries were reported as Sanders was not present in the office at the time of the incident.
