Nearly five years after the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol, an official plaque honoring the police who protected the building that day cannot be found. The plaque is not on display at the Capitol, even though the law requires it to be there. No one publicly knows where it is, though it’s likely sitting in storage somewhere.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, has not officially unveiled the plaque yet. According to HuffPost, the Trump administration’s Department of Justice is now trying to dismiss a lawsuit from police officers who want the plaque displayed as planned. The Architect of the Capitol, who was supposed to get and display the plaque, said they can’t comment because of the ongoing court case.
