Today's hearing featured testimony from the police officers attacked by insurrectionists on January 6th.

Testimony from Officers Harry Dunn, Aquilino Gonell, Michael Fanone, and Daniel Hodges, who recounted their personal experiences defending the Capitol was at times furious and at other times emotional.

If you missed it and want to watch the entire hearing, you can watch the video at the very end of this post.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger was visibly moved by the officers' testimony.
