Capitol Police officer allegedly told units to only monitor for 'anti-Trump' protesters on Jan. 6
A U.S. Capitol Police officer reportedly told his units to only focus on "anti-Trump" protesters during the Jan. 6 riot, CNN reported, citing an internal investigation.
Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), chairman of the House Administration Committee, mentioned the new report during Wednesday's committee hearing on security failures the day of the deadly insurrection. Lofgren read quotes from the alleged radio transmission of the officer in question.
"Attention all units on the field, we're not looking for any pro-Trump in the crowd. We're only looking for any anti pro-Trump who want to start a fight," the officer said, according to CNN.
A committee aide told CNN that Lofgren's questioning underscores the fact that the Capitol Police were focused on anti-Trump protesters despite intelligence pointing to expected violence from Trump supporters, who were directing their attention at the Capitol and lawmakers that day.
Capitol Police Inspector General Michael Bolton said in the CNN report that he had yet to read the internal report from the investigation.
