Controversial Trump appointee dismisses case involving hazardous materials

Federal weapons charges were dropped against Ori Solomon, a 55-year-old Israeli citizen and property manager, in connection with an illegal biological laboratory discovered at one of his Las Vegas properties.

Law enforcement was alerted in January when a cleaner became severely ill after discovering beakers with a red-colored liquid and biological safety equipment in Solomon's garage, ABC News reported.

Materials were consistent with those found in an illegal California biolab containing potential pathogens including HIV, malaria and COVID-19. Solomon faced federal firearms charges and state hazardous waste disposal accusations.

But last Tuesday, the U.S. Attorney overseeing the case in Nevada, dropped the weapons charge without explanation, according to Zeteo's Prem Thakker.

Sigal Chattah is a President Donald Trump appointee, who is considered a threat to Nevadas and rule of law due to her racist rhetoric and weaponization of law enforcement, according to Society for the Rule of Law.

Chattah, an Israeli-born American attorney, has verbally attacked Palestinians in the past. On X, she called Palestinians animals and urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to wipe Gaza off the map. Chattah also described Palestinian children as terrorists.

Although state authorities continue pursuing hazardous waste disposal charges, the case has drawn scrutiny regarding the handling of the investigation.

Multiple U.S. officials confirmed details of the intelligence assessment to media outlets reporting on the case.
