Democratic lawmakers are demanding House Speaker Mike Johnson unveil a plaque honoring police officers who defended the Capitol from a violent mob seeking to overturn the 2020 election five years ago today, on January 6, 2021. The plaque was commissioned by Congress in 2022 and was required, by law, to be installed by March 2023. But it remains in a Capitol basement utility room as Republican leaders continue to block its display.

Ahead of today’s anniversary, Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee released two new reports on the aftermath of the January 6 attack. They found at least 33 pardoned January 6 defendants have since been charged, arrested or convicted of new crimes. Congressmember Jamie Raskin said the pardons had created a “private militia of proven street fighters” that represent “a nightmare for American public safety.”
