Troopergate: A belated limited hangout on the Arkansas state troopers at the U.S. Capitol Jan. 6
The
Arkansas State Police provided to me at 6:03 p.m. today an additional statement to my continuing questions about the
two troopers who participated in the
Trump rally in Washington on June 6 that ended in the deadly insurrection riot at the Capitol.

It confirms, without directly saying so, that Governor Hutchinson’s statement that the troopers did NOT go to the Capitol from the rally was incorrect. Beyond that, not much. The statement:
Two Arkansas State Troopers who were off-duty and on annual leave travelled to Washington D.C. to hear a January 6, 2021 speech by President Donald Trump. The two troopers were interviewed by their supervisory commanders regarding the Washington D.C. trip. Additionally, Colonel Bill Bryant conducted an internal review of their activities.
