to arrest himMichael Fanone, a former DC police officer who was attacked during the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, said that former president Donald Trump should be charged and, if he had the chance, he would arrest him.
During an interview on SiriusXM radio's "Dean Obeidallah Show," Fanone was asked about his reaction to Trump's announcement that he's running for president again in 2024 amid his ongoing legal troubles.
"I'm not going to say that I'm still holding out hope, but I still expect the Department of Justice to do its job. You know, if you had asked me on January 7th, I would have told you unequivocally Donald Trump, and his allies were morally and ethically responsible for what happened on January 6th," Fanone responded.
He continued, "At the end of the Select Committee's investigation into the January 6 insurrection, I believe that there is clear and convincing evidence that ties Donald Trump and his allies to this scheme, which he orchestrated to defraud the American people."

...which gets into Fanone's story, both before the insurrection and since.
