Washington Metropolitan Police Department officer Michael Fanone testifies during the House select committee hearing on the January 6 attack on Capitol Hill in Washington.
WASHINGTON: Four police officers on Tuesday told lawmakers they were beaten, taunted with racial insults, heard threats including kill him with his own gun and thought they might die as they struggled to defend the US Capitol on January 6 against a mob of then-President Donald Trump s supporters.
Often tearful, sometimes profane, the officers called the rioters terrorists engaged in an attempted coup during a 3-1/2 hour congressional hearing in which they also criticized Republican lawmakers who have sought to downplay the attack.
