Whodunnit: The congressman on the toilet with a sword April 27, 20218:10 am Lots of attention on social media last night, boosted by Rachel Maddow, to a cameo played by Kevin McCarthy and actions during the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. After the House chamber was evacuated on Jan. 6, Mr. McCarthy retreated to his Capitol office with a colleague, Representative Bruce Westerman, Republican of Arkansas.

But Mr. Westerman was left behind in Mr. McCarthy’s inner work area, he said in a recent interview.
