A U.S. House panel dedicated to investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot kicked off its much-anticipated first hearing Tuesday featuring four police officers who defended the seat of the U.S. legislature during the violence.
Witnesses invited by the House select committee to testify at the inaugural hearing include two police officers from the Capitol Police and two others from the DC Metropolitan Police Department. Never-before-seen video footage depicting what happened on Capitol Hill on Jan. 6 is expected to be shown during the hearing.
The goal of the hearing is to portray what is like to be on the frontlines for the brave police officers and to push back on efforts to whitewash the events of that day, Adam Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee and a member of the select committee, told reporters during a conference call Monday.
