Former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn Reflects on Jan. 6 Five Years Later
Rep. Clyburn warns Jan. 6 threat persists amid pardons and whitewashing, while Trump targets impeachment Republicans to unify party before midterms, with only two impeachers left in office.
- On January 6, 2026, Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., warned on the U.S. House floor that the threat exposed on Jan. 6, 2021, still persists as the nation marked the fifth anniversary.
- Clyburn argued that recent actions have eroded accountability, citing President Donald Trump’s pardons that undercut it and a lawsuit over a plaque commemorating officers injured on Jan. 6.
- Speaking publicly and in his memoir, Dunn emphasized he has spent five years urging accountability for Jan. 6 and described ongoing threats and the memoir as part of his healing.
- At a House Republican retreat at the Kennedy Center, President Donald Trump urged party unity while targeting former South Carolina U.S. Rep. Tom Rice and celebrated Russell Fry's primary victory over Rice, overstating Rice's loss margin and mischaracterizing Fry's resume.
- With looser federal and local gun policies, experts caution that Second Amendment extremism and weakened enforcement of District of Columbia gun laws increase the risk of deadlier violence today.
