Tim Ryan (D-OH) said one of the officers took a selfie with a rioter. The other put on a 'Make America Great Again' hat and directed insurrectionists through the building. Ryan is on the Legislative Branch Subcommittee, which oversees spending on the Capitol Police force. He said one of the members may have been arrested.

What's more, prosecutors say text messages and YouTube searches have led them to believe Martin killed Odom. They say further charges may come. Martin bought a reciprocating saw from Home Depot, then performed YouTube searches on 'how to insert blade for reciprocating saw.' Prosecutors believe Martin killed Odom so that he and Anderson could collect on two life insurance payouts, totaling $200,000.
