Capitol Police officers injured in the Jan. 6, 2021, siege on the Capitol can sue former President Trump for allegedly inciting violence, the Justice department said Thursday in a federal court case.
U.S. Capitol Police are ready to respond to any future attacks on Congress, USCP Police Chief Tom Manger said Monday, three days before the second anniversary of the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, attack.
Repeated government failures were to blame for the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, according to former Capitol Police Chief Steven A. Sund.
Since the Jan. 6 riot in Washington D.C., about 130 Capitol Police officers have left their jobs, a Senate panel was told Tuesday.
The Capitol police officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt during the Jan. siege said he pulled the trigger to “save the lives of members of Congress and myself and my fellow officers.”
The Secret Service warned the U.S. Capitol Police about the potential for violence on Jan. 5, a day before Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building.
Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe accused former President Trump of “threatening law enforcement” after he demanded “justice” against the Capitol Police officer who fatally shot Ashli Babbitt during the Jan. 6 riot.
The FBI warned U.S. Capitol Police about the potential for violence at the Capitol on Jan 6 and even visited more than a dozen extremists to encourage them not to attend the planned protest.
