Capitol Police officers Harry Dunn and Aquilino Gonell and D.C. Metropolitan Police officers Michael Fanone and Daniel Hodges were among those testifying before a special congressional committee Tuesday launched to investigate the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol. The officers emotionally detailed the horror of their experiences, their injuries and the lasting trauma as they begged the lawmakers to investigate the attack. They wiped away tears and paused to compose themselves as they spoke. Rebuking Republican lawmakers who have resisted the hearings, Fanone said, “I feel like I went to hell and back to protect them and the people in this room.” Pounding his fist on the table in front of him, he said, “Too many are now telling me that hell doesn’t exist or that hell actually wasn’t that bad. The indifference shown to my colleagues is disgraceful.” For more info, please go to https://globalnews.ca/news/8062781/us-capitol-riots-committee-investigation-police/ Subscribe to Global News Channel HERE: http://bit.ly/20fcXDc Like Global News on Facebook HERE: http://bit.ly/255GMJQ Follow Global News on Twitter HERE: http://bit.ly/1Toz8mt Follow Global News on Instagram HERE: https://bit.ly/2QZaZIB #GlobalNews #USCapitolRiot #USCapitolOfficersTestify
