Capitol Insurrection

A Texan was the first to breach the Capitol and many others joined the assault. The presidential pardon helps cast all of them as folk heroes.

Four years after the riot at the Capitol, Congress meets under heavy security and a blanket of snow to certify the 2024 election.

A police officer defended the Capitol from violent rioters on Jan. 6. With President-elect Donald Trump poised to pardon the rioters, he now asks, "what did I risk my life for?"

The move came after federal prosecutors filed a motion to dismiss both the Jan. 6 and Mar-a-Lago documents cases against Donald Trump.

A Bexar County Sheriff's lieutenant who was fired after posting selfies at the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection will be paid a $395,000 legal settlement.

Former President Donald Trump was indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury on four counts related to efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, according to court documents.

Saturday’s rally was held in the city where a deadly standoff between federal agents and a religious, anti-government cult took place 30 years ago.

Friday night was full of drama and twists and turns, as California Republican Kevin McCarthy eked out a win in the 15th round of voting for the speaker of the House.

Texas was the state with the second most defendants related to the attack, behind Florida.

The House committee released the full report on its investigation into the 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol. Earlier the panel said it was referring former President Donald Trump for criminal charges.
