Officers who defended the Capitol fight falsehoods about Jan. 6 and campaign for Joe Biden

Three and a half years after the Capitol attack, former President Donald Trump still falsely claims the 2020 election was stolen and has promised that if he wins the presidency again he will pardon his supporters who violently beat police and broke into the building to try and overturn the legitimate results. To counter the misinformation, officers who were there that day are working with President Joe Biden's campaign, attending events in swing states to make sure that voters don’t forget. The role is an unusual transition for officers who once protected members of Congress and are used to keeping their political views to themselves.
