Several Capitol Police officers suspended pending outcome of investigations
Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, a House Appropriations subcommittee chairman who presides over Capitol Police funding, told reporters Monday afternoon that two Capitol Police officers have been suspended after the storming of the Capitol last week.
"One was the selfie officer, and another was an officer who had put on a MAGA hat and started directing some people around," he said.
Ryan said he was informed of both by the interim Capitol Police chief.
The congressman also said he has heard of 10 to 15 ongoing investigations of officers' actions and that the interim chief is taking "aggressive action" in the department to determine "if there was any facilitation or help" from inside the department.
Late Monday, the acting Capitol police chief released a statement that said the department has been actively reviewing video and other open source materials looking for officers and officials who appear to be in violation of department regulations and policies.
"Our Office of Professional Responsibility will investigate these behaviors for disciplinary action, up to, and including, termination. Several USCP officers have already been suspended pending the outcome of their investigations," the statement said.
Acting Chief Yoganada Pittman also said that law enforcement agencies throughout the capital region have comprehensive, coordinated plans in place to ensure the safety and security of the congressional community and for the upcoming presidential inauguration. There will be no public access to the Capitol grounds during the inauguration and but the event will go on as scheduled.
Rep. Raskin tells ABC News’ ‘Start Here’ about barricading with his family in the Capitol
Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., joined ABC News’ “Start Here” to talk about the efforts in Congress to remove Trump from office and also described his experience at the Capitol during the riot, which also happened to be the day after his family had buried his son.
“We experienced a terrible family catastrophe and we had to bury my son on Tuesday. And then on Wednesday, I had to go in for the Electoral College count,” Raskin toldABC News' daily news podcast.“And our youngest daughter, Tabitha, said, ‘Daddy, don't go. I want you to stay home.’ And I said, I would love to be home, but I have to go in because this is a constitutional responsibility. And I've agreed also to be one of the floor managers for the Democratic side in debating these objections to the electors."
Raskin told “Start Here” that he broughtTabithaand a son-in-law who is married to his other daughterwith him to the House chamber. They all had to shelter-in-place when the rioters broke into the Capitol.
“They ended up barricaded in a locked office off of...the House chamber hiding under a desk as people pounded on the door. They heard the same sickening sounds I heard of people trying to barrel into the House chamber,” he said. "Listento the stories of people who lived through this nightmare. You know, this is not some abstract question about Donald Trump just pocketing emoluments. He helped to unleash a furious savage mob on the Congress of the United States, our staffs, and in my case, on members of my family.”
Belichick says he won't accept the Presidential Medal of Freedom
New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick was expected to be presented with the Presidential Medal of Freedom later this week, a White House official said, but in a statement released Monday evening, he declined it.
"Recently, I was offered the opportunity to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which I was flattered by out of respect for what the honor represents and admiration for prior recipients. Subsequently, the tragic events of last week occurred and the decision has been made not to move forward with the award," he said in the statement. "Above all, I am an American citizen with a great reverence for our nation's values, freedom and democracy. I know I also represent my family and the New England Patriots team. One of the most rewarding things in my professional career took place in 2020 when, through the great leadership within our team, conversations about social justice, equality and human rights moved to the forefront and became actions. Continuing those efforts while remaining true to the people, team and country I love outweigh the benefits of any individual award."
