U.S. Rep. Russ Fulcher of Idaho is not currently under investigation over an alleged scuffle with Capitol security, according to a letter from the U.S. Capitol Police chief of staff.
A HuffPost reporter said Capitol Police had called to interview him about an incident he reported on involving Fulcher on Jan. 12th, the day metal detectors were installed outside the House Chamber in reaction to the Capitol riot a week earlier.
The reporter said he witnessed Fulcher “roughly push his way past an officer who was operating the metal detectors.”
However, this last week, the chief of staff for the U.S. Capitol Police called and told Fulcher’s office — there is no current investigation into the alleged incident.
