D.C. official denies jail guard beat Capitol riot suspect

The head of Washington, D.C.'s Department of Corrections denies allegations that a jail guard "viciously and savagely" beat a Capitol riot suspect.

A lawyer for Ryan Samsel, of Bristol, Pennsylvania, claimed he was beaten so badly he had to have his jaw wired shut and may lose sight in one eye. Samsel is accused of pushing over barriers and knocking down a police officer – causing her to suffer a concussion – during the riot.
