Republican representative Adam Kinzinger fought back tears as he spoke to officers who protected the Capitol during the first public hearing to investigate the 6 January riot.
Mr Kinzinger, who is one of just two Republicans to take a seat on the select committee, told the officers that despite feeling broken, they had “won”.
“I never expected today to be quite as emotional for me as it has been,” he said. “I have talked to a number of you and gotten to know you.
“I think it’s important to tell you right now though; you guys may individually feel a little broken,” he continued. “You guys all talk about the effects you have to deal with and the impact of that day. But you guys won, you guys held.”
