Metropolitan Police Officer Michael Fanone joined Don Lemon Tuesday night to talk the January 6 Capitol insurrection and his testimony about it on Capitol Hill before the House select committee investigating that incident.
Michael Fanone, who suffered a mild heart attack during the riot, wrote an open letter dated Wednesday and addressed it to “all elected members of the United States government.” In it, he described his experience on the day supporters of former President Trump stormed the Capitol.
“Mike received a voicemail today while he was testifying,” said Lemon. “And he shared that voicemail with us. And I have to warn everybody.”
Lemon noted the voicemail contained “incredibly offensive language, but we think people need to hear the kind of attacks these officers are facing right now just for telling the truth about January 6. Play it.”
