Michael Fanone (born September 3, 1980) is an American law enforcement analyst, author, and former policeman. He worked for the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia from 2001 until his retirement in 2021. Fanone was present at the U.S. Capitol during the January 2021 attack, and testified with his colleagues in front of the House Select Committee investigating the attack in 2021.

Post-January 6th for me and for hundreds of my fellow officers, what I found most distressing—especially as a lifelong Republican, myself—are comments made by Republican lawmakers about January 6th, which were not just shocking but disgraceful.
