The new chief of the U.S. Capitol Police said the officers testifying next week about the January 6 assault on the Capitol building need to be heard. I think we need to pay close attention to what they re saying, said Thomas Manger, the former police chief in Montgomery County, Maryland, who was sworn into his new position on Friday.
In an interview with CBS News, Manger said he absolutely supports the Capitol Police officers who are slated to speak on Tuesday at the first meeting of the House select committee investigating the January 6 attack.
