Former Capitol Police Officer Notified Of January 6 Rioter's Release

U.S. Capitol Police Sgt. Harry Dunn listens as the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol holds its final meeting on Capitol Hill in Washington, Monday, Dec.

Recently, audio recordings of voicemails left by the Justice Department for police officers who testified at the trials of January 6 rioters have surfaced. These notifications were in response to President Donald Trump's decision to grant mass clemency to nearly 1,600 defendants involved in the Capitol siege.

One of the voicemails obtained was for former US Capitol Police Staff Sgt. Aquilino Gonell, who was a victim of multiple assaults during the riot and is known for his criticism of Trump. The voicemail informed him about the release of convicted rioter Federico Klein, a former political appointee at the State Department.
