Capitol officer to ABC's David Muir on Trump's role in Jan. 6: 'I do hold him accountable'

Three officers told ABC "World News Tonight" David Muir it's time for accountability.

As the country marks one year since the attacks on the Capitol, and with investigations into the planning and execution of that attack ongoing, three officers who fought the rioters that day tell "World News Tonight" anchor David Muir it's time for accountability -- and that extends to former President Donald Trump.

"I do hold him accountable. He's the only person who had influence over those people. And you could give him the benefit of the doubt that he was not involved. You could say that he didn't know for about an hour. What he doing the hours after the first hour? You can't tell me that he did not know. You can't tell me that he did not know what was happening, even because his adviser told him, because the military told him, because he was watching on TV," Capitol Police Sgt. Aquilino Gonell, told Muir during an interview last month. "The notion that he did not know or he acted swiftly -- no, I don't buy that."

Muir sat down with Sgt. Gonell, his fellow Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn, and Metropolitan Police officer Daniel Hodges -- all of whom were at the Capitol on Jan. 6 of last year. It was the first time the three officers sat down for an interview since they, and former Capitol Police officer Michael Fanone, detailed the horrors they endured on Jan. 6 during a congressional hearing six months after the attacks.
