A half-dozen Seattle police officers who attended the Jan. 6 rally where then-President Donald Trump spoke are being forced to provide city officials with personal and financial data or face termination.
According to an online post by Seattle talk radio host Jason Rantz, the controversial demand for information comes after the department began an investigation into the officers in January after two of them posted photos to social media showing they attended the rally. Afterward, four additional officers self-reported that they had attended the rally as well.
“Though there was no evidence that any of the officers participated in the riot, the civilian-led Office of Police Accountability (OPA) began a proactive investigation to see if any of the officers broke any laws,” Rantz wrote.
“Months into the investigation, sources say no evidence has emerged of any wrongdoing. And none of the officers have been federally charged for any illegal behavior,” he added. “That doesn’t mean OPA won’t offer findings of guilt against an officer for witnessing an illegal act at the Capitol without reporting it.”
