Members of the media pressured officials when Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick's autopsy contravened the popular narrative that he essentially was beaten to death during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, according to records obtained by Judicial Watch.Journalists challenged the Washington, D.C. medical examiner's office regarding its finding that Sicknick in fact died of natural causes, according to those records.The watchdog organization acquired the records via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit, a spokesperson confirmed. The records include emails from journalists asking about the autopsy report that was released some three months after Officer Sicknick died."People will draw their own conclusions, but the emails suggest skepticism and confusion about the conclusion," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton told Just the News....The emails read "as if the left media had an interest in pressing the false narrative that Officer Sicknick was killed by protesters," Fitton said.
