Senate Sergeant-at-Arms found dead day before Jan. 6 committee to present ‘newly uncovered evidence’
June 28, 2022 | Terresa Monroe-Hamilton
Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Michael Stenger, who was in charge of Capitol security on Jan. 6, 2021, died suddenly on Monday morning, a day before the Jan. 6 inquisition was set to call a surprise session to introduce new evidence.
Stenger was 71 years old. The cause of death has not been released yet.
Following the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, Stenger was accused of failing at his job to ensure security at the Capitol. Then-Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer pledged he would fire Stenger if he was not out of office by the time Democrats assumed the majority on January 20, 2021. Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), then-Senate Majority Leader, “requested and received the resignation” of Stenger the day after the riot. He had held the post from 2018 to 2021.
