Thirty-five U.S. Capitol Police officers are being investigated for their actions during the January 6 riot at the Capitol, and six have been suspended with pay, the police department said in a statement on Friday. Five people, including a Capitol Police officer, died in the violence when throngs of former President Donald Trump’s supporters attacked the Capitol, overpowering security forces. “Acting Chief Yogananda Pittman has directed that any member of her department whose behavior is not in keeping with the department’s rules of conduct will face appropriate discipline,” police department spokesman John Stolnis said.
