(CNS News) Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) sent a letter to the U.S. Capitol Police this week, seeking answers as to why its office claimed in a Jan. 7 press release that Officer Brian Sicknick died due to injuries sustained while on-duty during the Jan. 6 breach of the Capitol when the D.C. Medical Examiner announced on April 19 that Sicknick died of natural causes.
In the April 22 letter to Yoganda D. Pittman, the acting chief of the U.S. Capitol Police, Sen. Johnson writes, The recent medical examiner ruling that Officer Sicknick died of natural causes raises questions regarding the USCP’s press release on January 7, 2021, that stated Officer Sicknick died from injuries sustained while on-duty after physically engaging with protestors at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
