First on CNN: President Biden to mark the two-year anniversary of the January 6 insurrection by awarding the Presidential Citizens Medal to 12 people for the first time in his presidency
The individuals include law enforcement officers who were injured defending the Capitol, a Capitol Police officer who died the day after rioters stormed the building and election workers who rejected efforts by former President Donald Trump to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
The two women, who are Black, gave emotional and poignant testimony to the House January 6 committee, describing how their lives were turned upside down after the former president and his allies publicly disparaged them as election fraud hustlers. “There is nowhere I feel safe. Nowhere. Do you know how it feels to have the president of the United States target you?” Freeman told the House panel.
