Hundreds of investigative documents released by the Seattle office of police accountability show that four officers who fought for years to keep their identities secret insisted they did not see or participate in the MAGA-driven violence that rocked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The officers spent nearly four years fighting the release of the investigative files and their identities in a legal battle that twice reached the U.S. Supreme Court before they suddenly dropped their lawsuit this summer. That resulted in the release last week of more than 1,000 pages of documents accrued during a monthslong investigation that began when a colleague shared a photograph from social media showing two Seattle officers who were at the rally.
