In ALL of the cases, the U.S. attorney's office reviewed and determined no crimes were committed, USCP indicated.
There's still a pending investigation into an officer for "conduct unbecoming" and "unsatisfactory performance."
One of the 38 is the investgiation of Lt. Michael Byrd, who fired the shot that killed Ashli Babbitt. He was cleared last month, which is why he went public.

NOTABLE: Capitol Police couldn't identify 12 of the 38 officers whose conduct was cited in the complaints.
IMPORTANT: One reason the Capitol Police released this report now: Prosecutors had begun sharing them with many of the 600-plus defendants in the Capitol riot. Many claim cops had authorized them to enter the Capitol and hope these reports bolster their argument.
NEW: 1,200 Capitol Police officers worked on Jan. 6. 38 were cited for alleged misconduct.
Today Capitol Police said just 6 of those were sustained. 12 officers could not be identified based on the allegations. 1 case is pending.
