For years, Seattle residents have known that several city police officers attended the ‘Stop the Steal’ rally in Washington D.C. on January 6th, 2021.

But the names of most of those police officers were unknown until recently.

After a lengthy court fight, the city in late July disclosed the identities of all the officers who attended the rally. 

The city also released records from an investigation of the officers' role in the rally. KUOW reporter Amy Radil combed through those records and joins us to talk about what she found.
