U.S. Capitol

U.S. Capitol Police Sgt. Aquilino Gonell recounted how he and his fellow officers were crushed by the violent mob of pro-Trump supporters on Jan. 6.

The department says it would not be appropriate for former officials to claim executive privilege forbids them from testifying before Congress.

"For most people, Jan. 6 happened for a few hours," U.S. Capitol Police Sgt. Aquilino Gonell said in the select committee hearing. "But for those of us who were in the thick of it, it has not ended."

Two Senate committees have found that U.S. Capitol Police and other authorities were in possession of more alarming intelligence clues ahead of the Jan. 6 attack than previously documented.

Republicans are resisting the formation of an independent commission to look into the Jan. 6 invasion of the U.S. Capitol. A key exchange from the 9/11 Commission investigation helps explain why.

A forthcoming report says DHS officials had the intelligence they needed to predict that the pro-Trump rally would become violent. What was missing was DHS telling the people who needed to know.

Officials say Maj. Christopher Warnagiris is believed to be the first active-duty military service member to be charged in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

The event will be unlike any other modern presidential speech before lawmakers thanks to pandemic restrictions and security requirements put in place after the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Responding to a critical inspector general's report, the U.S. Capitol Police acknowledges that "much additional work needs to be done," but that it will need "significant resources" from Congress.

Police fatally shot the suspect they say rammed a car into a barrier and then lunged at officers with a knife. One officer was killed, and another was injured.

The measure is expected to pass the House but faces long odds in the Senate, leading some advocates to call for the end of the legislative filibuster.

With all the talk about domestic terrorism, you might assume there's a law against it. There's not. The storming of the Capitol has again raised the question about whether one is needed.
