The Post provided the photographs to the Capitol Police on Monday morning and requested comment. There is no known previous direct connection between the document and the Capitol Police, but members of the force have been under scrutiny for their behavior during the riot. ADVideos from that day showed some officers taking selfies with rioters and allowing them to bypass security in some places as they descended on the Capitol. One officer allegedly shook hands with rioters and told them, “It’s your house now,” as they rushed the Capitol building, according to court documents. It has since been translated into multiple languages, fomenting antisemitic sentiment around the world — including in Germany ahead of the Nazi genocide and more recently in majority-Muslim countries.
