10:01Now PlayingFormer DC Police Officer Michael Fanone For the Win
Jack Smith provides live public testimony before the House Judiciary Committee in a contentious hearing that exposes deep divisions over January 6th accountability. The session features questioning from prominent Republicans including Jim Jordan and Troy Nehls, alongside Democratic committee members, seven of whom voted to increase ICE funding. The testimony brings Officer Michael Fanone, Harry Dunn, and other former police officers who defended the Capitol during the January 6th attack into direct confrontation with MAGA Republicans who continue defending Trump's actions that day.
Troy Nehls, the Texas Republican congressman who announced he won't seek reelection, addresses the four officers present and reveals his appointment to Mike Johnson's new select committee investigating January 6th. Nehls claims the fault doesn't lie with Trump, prompting a remarkable response from Officer Michael Fanone, who was brutally attacked by Trump supporters on January 6th, dragged from the Capitol tunnel, tased repeatedly in the neck, and beaten while rioters yelled to kill him with his own gun. Fanone's audible coughing interruption during Nehls' remarks becomes a defining moment of the Jack Smith hearing.
The testimony highlights ongoing battles over Trump accountability, with Republicans like Jim Jordan and Darrell Issa questioning the special prosecutor while officers who suffered defending democracy sit watching. This House Judiciary session captures the fundamental conflict between those seeking January 6th truth and MAGA politicians rewriting that violent day's history.
