Bidens Pay Respects to Late Capitol Police Officer

VOA News

   U.S. President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, paid their respects late
   Tuesday to Brian Sicknick, the U.S. Capitol Police officer who died
   defending the Capitol from a pro-Trump mob that stormed the building
   last month.
   Sicknick's remains arrived at the Capitol a short time earlier and
   dozens of Capitol Police officers stood at attention as his urn was
   carried up the steps to the Rotunda where he is lying in honor.
   Capitol Police were given an opportunity to participate in a viewing
   period overnight.
   Congressional leaders took part in the solemn arrival ceremony, and
   lawmakers will pay tribute to Sicknick at a Wednesday morning ceremony
   before his remains are taken to Arlington National Cemetery.
