Two conservatives who've argued that some who breached the Capitol on Jan. 6 were unfairly prosecuted aren't expected to attend the event defending those rioters.
Amid rising concerns on the Hill about potential violence during a Sept. 18 rally defending those arrested during the Capitol riot, two well-known House conservatives who have described some Jan. 6 insurrectionists as "political prisoners" say they’re not planning to attend this month's event.
As the rally draws closer, congressional security officials are beginning to prepare for potential risks amid heightened scrutiny of lapses in the response to the violence of Jan. 6's riot led by supporters of former President Donald Trump.
While Braynard declined to share whether any members of Congress have confirmed they plan to attend, he told POLITICO that organizers would announce speakers “when ready." Hill security officials could opt to restore the tall fencing that ringed the Capitol in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 insurrection. The barriers stayed up until the beginning of July despite criticism from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle who opposed the closure of open access to the Capitol. Some Capitol Police officers, on the other hand, had supported the fencing.
