On June 1, U.S. Park Police and other agents attacked peaceful protesters in front of the @WhiteHouse at #LafayetteSquare in Washington, D.C.

At our June 29 hearing, some Republican members dismissed how the agents used tear gas & beat unarmed civilians as no big deal.
We’re holding a July 28 follow-up hearing to get to the bottom of who ordered that attack and why.

Acting U.S. Park Police Chief Gregory Monahan will testify.

Then we’ll hear from Adam DeMarco, a former Army officer & major in the DC National Guard. bit.ly/2OQBAZG
Maj. DeMarco is appearing before the Committee to offer testimony under the Military Whistleblower Protection Act.

He coordinated military & law enforcement agents on June 1 & directly witnessed how the crackdown was carried out.

We look forward to his testimony.
Lafayette Square was a turning point that gave way to the Trump admin’s ongoing violent attacks on civilians.

We need to know who ordered the crackdown & why.

The right to protest & peaceably assemble is deeply American. We cannot let these types of attacks happen ever again.
