assaulting a Capitol Police officer when refusing to fully comply with security procedures before entering the House floor on January 12, 2021

Rep. Fulcher was accused of assaulting a Capitol Police officer when refusing to fully comply with security procedures before entering the House floor on January 12, 2021. That the Capitol Police were investigating became public when they interviewed a Huffington Post reporter who'd witnessed the event as part of the investigation. Soon after, the U.S. Capitol Police sent a letter to Fulcher saying there was no investigation at that time.
