"Reflecting on the January 6 Capitol Attack: The Toll on Law Enforcement and the Echoes in 2024"

D.C. U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves stated that the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot was likely the largest mass assault on law enforcement in U.S. history. Over 1,200 individuals have been charged and nearly 900 convicted in the ongoing investigation, with more than 80 suspects still unidentified. Graves emphasized the severity of the attack, the array of weapons present, and the importance of remembering the event to prevent recurrence, while also noting the approaching statute of limitations deadline in January 2026. The briefing avoided direct mention of former President Trump, focusing instead on the actions of the rioters.
