Portland DA Drops Charges Against Conservative Journalist Who Was Attacked by Antifa
7th October 2025
Disorderly conduct charges have been dropped against a conservative journalist who was arrested for defending himself from an attack by members of an Antifa mob in Portland, Oregon Thursday.
“VICTORY: Following our demand for discovery related to the @PortlandPolice ’s coordination with Antifa, the Multnomah County DA has announced they will DECLINE to prosecute me,” Journalist Nick Sortor declared on social media Monday.
“After a careful review of the investigation, including reports and video, we do not believe the crime of Disorderly Conduct can be proven against Mr. Sortor beyond a reasonable doubt,” Sortor quoted from a statement by the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office he embedded in his post.
“And trust me, this is ONLY the beginning,” Sortor promised, possibly alluding to plans to file a lawsuit or investigate whether or not the police had engaged in any “coordination with Antifa.”
