I sat down with Michael Fanone and Daniel Hodges, who both defended the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 and experienced some of the most brutal violence that day.
We watched their bodycam footage together - moment by moment.

The Trump administration celebrated Christmas on Thursday by posting a series of religious messages from official government accounts, using language that drew criticism from those who pointed to America's separation of church and state.
Trump Administration Emphasizes Religion in Official Christmas Messages
Government officials have traditionally steered clear of such overtly religious language, as the Constitution prohibits the establishment of an official state religion.
