It’s been five years since the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, but Rep. Pete Aguilar still finds small reminders of that day all over — like when groups of people congregate in red hats, or even when the weather outside becomes “cold and crisp,” like it was last month as the anniversary approached.
“Those are things that I think will always be there,” Aguilar, D-Calif., said in an interview.
It can be an uneasy feeling for him and others who investigated the attack as part of a select committee in the House. Five of those nine members remain in Congress.
