The Committee to Protect Journalists is calling on Washington, D.C., to
drop charges against journalists who were arrested and charged with
felonies after reporting on the Disrupt J20 actions during Trump's

actions, including a reporter with RT America, as well as freelance
journalist Aaron Cantú and live-streamer Matt Hopard.
