Watch Live: Biden signs bill honoring officers protecting U.S. Capitol on January 6

Washington — President Biden on Thursday will sign legislation awarding four Congressional Gold Medals to members of the U.S. Capitol Police and D.C. Metropolitan Police Department who defended the U.S. Capitol from the mob of former President Donald Trump's supporters on January 6.

The bill landed on Mr. Biden's desk after the Senate cleared the measure Tuesday by unanimous consent. It passed the House in June with opposition from 21 Republicans. The president will sign the legislation during an event in the Rose Garden, and he and Vice President Kamala Harris will deliver remarks.
