Mother of fallen Capitol Police officer wants to meet with GOP senators ahead of commission vote
CNN
The mother of fallen US Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who had asked to meet with GOP senators, will meet with at least 15 of them Thursday ahead of an expected vote on the January 6 commission that so far is short of the 10 Republican votes needed to pass.
Thirteen Republican senators have declined to meet with her, according to a source with knowledge. In a statement obtained by CNN, Sicknick writes, "My son, Capitol Police Officer, Brian Sicknick, died on January 7, 2021. He died because of the insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol Building on January 6."![](/newspic/picid-6252001-20250211032809.jpg)

The Trump administration’s dismantling of the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and its sweeping freeze on foreign assistance has made it more difficult to track potential misuse of US taxpayer-funded humanitarian assistance, meaning it could end up unintentionally going to terrorist groups, according to a new report from the agency’s independent watchdog.
