Psaki Falsely Claims ‘a Number of Officers’ Died January 6 on Capitol Hill

During a White House Press Briefing Friday, Press Secretary Jen Psaki claimed that "a number of officers" died during the events on Capitol Hill January 6, 2021.

One reporter asked Psaki for a comment about a letter penned to the president from DC Metropolitan police officer Michael Fanone, who was brutally attacked on January 6 and says he's living with lasting trauma from the incident who states that "It's time to fully recognize the actions of the officers on that day."

Psaki said she would have to check on the status of the letter, adding that "obviously, the president's view is that there are a number of officers who lost their lives, paid a tremendous sacrifice on a day that will be a stain on our democracy for many years to come and certainly many who survived," said Psaki. "This will be a long lasting trauma."
