Suspect nabbed in arson fire at Sen. Bernie Sander’s office

Federal charges were filed Sunday against a 35-year-old man who allegedly set fire to the door of Sen. Bernie Sanders' office in Burlington, Vermont, while staff was working inside, police and prosecutors said. Shant Soghomonian, formerly of Northridge, California, was arrested on Sunday after investigators reviewed surveillance camera footage that captured him allegedly spraying a liquid on the outer door of Sanders' office in downtown Burlington, U.S. Attorney Nikolas P. Kerest said in a statement. The fire unfolded around 10:45 a.m. Friday outside Sanders' third-floor Church Street office, which is in a building that is also used in interstate commerce, Kerest said.
