Michael Fanone receives sinister call after January 6 testimony

Network plays uncensored voicemail because ‘people need to hear the kind of attacks these officers are facing right now just for telling the truth about January 6’

Metropolitan police officer Michael Fanone, who was severely beaten during the 6 January riot, has revealed a threatening voicemail he received following his testimony in front of the Capitol riot commission.

Mr Fanone, who was among the first to testify on Tuesday, told CNN host Don Lemon he was the target of a violent message after telling lawmakers how he feared for his life during the riot.

He told the host that an alleged fan of former US president Donald Trump messaged him as he was telling members of Congress about his ordeal on the front line, when he was severely beaten and suffered a heart attack.
