Grassley staffers granted legal counsel in war protest case

Grassley staffers granted legal counsel in war protest case

Two staffers for Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley were granted legal representation in a trial scheduled to conclude today involving anti-war protests in Grassley's Des Moines office. A Senate resolution granting the representation passed by unanimous consent yesterday, Capitol Hill newspaper The Hill reports.

On Feb. 26, five Iowa Occupation Project anti-war protesters were arrested in Grassley’s Des Moines office for trespassing. Eleven others, charged with trespassing the same day in the Cedar Rapids, Iowa, office, were sentenced Friday, July 6. That afternoon, 19 more Occupation Project members again occupied Grassley's Cedar Rapids office and the Cedar Rapids office of Sen. Tom Harkin.
