Capitol Police Officer Testifies At Iowa Man’s Trial

(Washington, DC) — The Capitol Police officer who diverted a mob of rioters away from the U-S Senate on January 6th, 2021, testified at an Iowa man’s trial in Washington, D-C, Wednesday. Doug Jensen of Des Moines is charged with several felonies. Last year, a video widely broadcast and shared on social media showed Jensen leading a line of rioters confronting Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman. Goodman testified that as Jensen and the mob advanced up flights of stairs, ignoring his orders to halt, it felt like they would rush him any time. Prosecutors say Jensen was among the first ten rioters to breach the Capitol. He was escorted out of the building once but went back in through a broken window and had to be escorted out a second time.
