Fact Check: Capitol Cop at Jan. 6 Hearing Lies About Death of Officer Brian Sicknick

Seems like some cops can't stop themselves from telling lies while under oath

"So it begins.

On Tuesday morning, a Capitol Police officer made a blatantly untrue claim during the first day of hearings before the House select committee on the Jan. 6 Capitol incursion.

“I’d like to take a moment of my time,” officer Harry Dunn intoned as he began his testimony to the committee, “to ask for a moment of silence for my fallen colleague Officer Brian Sicknick, who died from injuries he sustained in the line of duty defending the Capitol of our beloved democracy.”

But not true.

Sicknick died of natural causes related to two strokes on Jan. 7, The Washington Post reported in April, citing the D.C. chief medical examiner. His autopsy showed no evidence of internal or external injuries sustained in the line of duty, contrary to what Dunn said.

In fact, there was only one fatality directly linked to the event: the death of Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt, shot by a police officer whose identity has been shielded."
