Capitol Police Sgt. Aquilino Gonell wipes his eye as he watches a video being displayed during a House select committee hearing on the Jan. 6 attack on Capitol Hill in Washington, on July 27, 2021.Gonell testified moments later that he thought he could have died that day, defending the Capitol from the pro-Trump mob.Wyoming Rep.
That member: Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., who has since sought to discredit the investigation and was appointed to the committee by McCarthy before Pelosi nixed the selection. "We must know what happened here at the Capitol. We must also know what happened every minute of that day in the white House," Cheney said."Every phone call, every conversation, every meeting leading up to, during, and after the attack. Honorable men and women have an obligation to step forward. If those responsible are not."
"'Kill him with his own gun,'" he recalled one rioter saying."I still hear those words in my head today." He said he was dragged into the crowd. Rioters grabbed his badge and ammunition, beating him with fists and metal objects. "I was electrocuted again and again and again with a taser," he said, adding that rewatching footage of the riot is painful for him.
"I was falsely accused of betraying my 'oath' and of choosing my 'paycheck' over my loyalty to the U.S. Constitution – even as I defended the very democratic process that protected everyone in that hostile crowd," Gonell said in his opening statement.
