(Washington, D.C.) Yesterday marked the 6 month anniversary of the riots at the US Capital and Attorney General Merrick B. Garland along with Deputy Attorney General Lisa O. Monaco met with U.S. Capitol Police officers who defended the Capitol on January 6th, and with Department of Justice employees who have worked tirelessly to hold accountable those who attacked the Capitol six months ago.

The pair recognized the important work and recent milestones in this investigation, including the arrest of more than 535 defendants in almost all 50 states. The Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General encouraged the team to continue to follow the facts in this case and charge what the evidence supports to hold all January 6th perpetrators accountable.

Later in the day the Attorney General visited with members of the U.S. Capitol Police, where he commended them for their bravery on January 6th and expressed his appreciation for their continued service and sacrifice.
