SHOW TRANSCRIPT Tuesday was an emotional first day for Congress’ Select Committee investigating January 6th. The nine-member Select Committee heard sometimes graphic testimony from four police officers who responded to the attack. "I remember thinking there was a very good chance I would be torn apart or shot to death with my own weapons,” Metropolitan Police Department Officer Michael Fanone told the panel. One of the officers, Capitol Police Sergeant Aquilino Gonell pointed blame directly at former President Donald Trump. “All of [the rioters] were telling us, 'Trump sent us,’” Gonell testified.
