Officers Give Harrowing Testimony On Their Experience Defending The Capitol On Jan. 6 Enlarge this image toggle caption Oliver Contreras/Pool/Getty Images Oliver Contreras/Pool/Getty Images Four police officers testified Tuesday about the physical and verbal assaults they faced responding to the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol in a highly emotional hearing. Gonell recounted the events of that day and the impact it has had on law enforcement officers: "For most people, Jan. 6 happened for a few hours," he said. He said the scene he found as he worked his way to the Capitol's West Front, where thousands of rioters were violently clashing with police, was "nothing short of brutal." The Capitol Police's Dunn said he was in the speaker's lobby outside the House chamber when one of the insurrectionists said that "Trump invited us here" and that Donald Trump was still the president. Fanone said he also hoped the committee would look in to whether there was collaboration between members of Congress, "their staff and these terrorists."
