Together with another officer, Officer Dunn, Special Agent David Lazarus offered testimony that painted the Oath Keepers as contributing to the instigation of aggression. However, video footage showed that Officer Dunn was the one who contributed to the aggression via making threats and by not conducting himself rationally. The Oath Keepers stepped in between Dunn and the other protesters. Video proves that Lazarus could not have witnessed this event as he was at another location at the same time the alleged Oath Keepers incident occurred.<\/p>\n

The security camera footage appears to indicate that Lazarus would have been unable to witness the events he claims he saw involving interactions between the four members of the Oath Keepers and Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn. Lazarus and Dunn were both critical witnesses for federal prosecutors in the Oath Keeper case — and hailed as heroes by President Joe Biden and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.<\/p>\n

Officer Dunn Changes His Story.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In an initial FBI interview, Officer Dunn indicated four members of the Oath Keepers had stood between himself and agitated rioters, to de-escalate the situation. Video footage from the incident shows Officer Dunn himself making threats and behaving erratically before the Oath Keepers stepped in and formed a barrier between the officer and rioters. However, Dunn’s story changed in a subsequent interview with him claiming the Oath Keepers had not helped him but were themselves instigating further aggression.<\/p>\n

Security Footage Disproves Lazarus’s Claims<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

During the Oath Keeper trial, Officer Dunn’s new recollection of events was corroborated by Capitol Police Special Agent David Lazarus who claimed he witnessed an altercation between Dunn and the Oath Keepers on several occasions. However, the complete timeline of video evidence, released by Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, clearly indicates Lazarus was not in the vicinity of Dunn when the alleged altercation occurred but was a quarter-mile away in the Senate office buildings. Lazarus did not arrive in the stairwell where Dunn was located until after the Oath Keepers had already left the area and can be seen exiting the Capitol Rotunda through the east doors.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
