‘Stomped, beaten, tased’: Police testify in US Capitol riot probe
Al Jazeera
Officers recount the January 6 riot at the first hearing of a US House special committee investigating the insurrection.
A special committee of the US House of Representatives charged with probing the January 6 storming of the US Capitol heard testimony Tuesday from four officers who faced off with rioters. The hearing capped months of debate in Congress over launching an independent, bipartisan investigation modelled after that created in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. Such a commission was blocked by Senate Republicans in May. Instead, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, announced the House panel in June, composed primarily of Democrats and two Republicans chosen by Pelosi and largely boycotted by Republican leadership.
