CNN hires DC officer who testified to Jan. 6 committee

CNN has hired Micheal Fanone, the former Washington, D.C. Metro police officer who was assaulted during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol and testified before Congress about his experience that day.
Fanone will join the network as a law enforcement analyst, the outlet announced on Monday, and was welcomed by host Don Lemon on his nightly primetime show.
He resigned from the Metro Police last month and has publicly criticized lawmakers and others who downplayed the significance of the attack.
“Clearly there are some members of our department who feel their oath is to Donald Trump and not to the Constitution,” Fanone said at the time of his resignation.
Fanone, who suffered a heart attack during the Jan. 6 attack, was previously a contributor to CNN and has appeared regularly on the network in recent months to speak about his experience during the ordeal.
