  President Joe Biden is bestowing the second highest civilian medal on Liz Cheney and Bennie Thompson, leaders of the congressional investigation into the Capitol riot who Donald Trump has said should be jailed for their roles in the inquiry.

President Joe Biden is set to honor the leaders of the House Select Committee that investigated the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot with the Presidential Citizens Medal, the nation's second-highest civilian honor. This recognition will occur during a White House ceremony on January 6, 2024, marking the third anniversary of the attack. The committee, which included members like Rep. Bennie Thompson and Rep. Liz Cheney, worked to uncover the details of the insurrection, leading to criminal referrals for former President Donald Trump. The ceremony will also posthumously award the medal to Capitol Police officers who died in the line of duty or by suicide following the event, highlighting their bravery and sacrifice. This act of recognition underscores Biden's commitment to acknowledging those who defended democracy during a critical moment in U.S. history.
