lawmakers on January 6A US Capitol Police officer's friend of 40 years worried he'd "fallen into a cult" and reported the officer to the FBI for revealing the secure location lawmakers had been evacuated to during the January 6 insurrection, according to documents obtained by McClatchy.
The US Capitol Police announced on September 11 that it intends to discipline six officers for their actions on January 6 following 38 internal investigations into officer conduct on that day.
The agency's Office of Professional Responsibility was only able to identify the actual officers involved in 20 of the complaints and substantiate actual violations by six of them.
The office recommended punishment in the cases of three officers for "conduct unbecoming", one for "failure to comply with directives", one for "improper remarks", and another for "improper dissemination of information."
