‘We still don't know exactly what happened. Why? Because many in my party have treated this as just another partisan fight,’ Republican Adam Kinzinger said in emotional remarks at the House panel's first investigative hearing on the Jan. 6 attack
Officers recall rioters acting on Trump's behalfWASHINGTON, July 27 - Four police officers on Tuesday told lawmakers they were beaten, taunted with racial insults, heard threats including "kill him with his own gun" and thought they might die as they struggled to defend the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 against a mob of then-President Donald Trump's supporters.
It was a dramatic first hearing for a Democratic-led House of Representatives committee formed despite opposition by Trump's fellow Republicans to investigate the worst violence at the Capitol since the British invasion in the War of 1812. Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson and Republican panel member Liz Cheney warned against "whitewashing" a riot in which more than 535 people now face criminal charges, even as Trump allies portray the panel as politically motivated.
Fanone said he was pulled into the crowd, beaten, shocked repeatedly with a Taser, robbed of his badge and knocked unconscious, suffering a heart attack. Fanone said he heard a rioter say "kill him with his own gun."U.S. Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn listens to testimony from Metropolitan Police Department Officer Daniel Hodges recall how he was violently attacked at the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, during the opening hearing of the U.S.
The rioters sent lawmakers and then-Vice President Mike Pence scrambling for safety. Four people died on Jan. 6: one rioter shot by police and three others who experienced medical emergencies. A policeman who was attacked by rioters died the following day. Two others later committed suicide.
