Defense lawyers for alleged suspects in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol are getting tours of the building in May and June.
Federal prosecutors made the disclosure in late-April via a court filing for Ezekiel Kurt Stecher, who was allegedly seen on video forcibly pushing against police officers while attempting to enter the Capitol on the Lower West Terrace.
USA Today first reported the tours late last month.
Nearly 140 other officers are suffering both physical and emotional wounds from that day.
Then-Police Chief Steven Sund resigned after the deadly breach, as did two other officials tasked with securing the Capitol, the House and Senate sergeants-at-arms, Paul D. Irving and Michael C. Stenger. All three roles are now being filled by acting officials, including Pittman, who had been an assistant chief.
Testifying before lawmakers in a closed-door hearing Tuesday, Pittman apologized to Congress and the public for the massive security failure and made a stunning admission that police leadership had compiled intelligence at least two days earlier that armed militia and white supremacist groups had planned to do harm at the Capitol.
