A New York Public Radio employee recalls his personal connection to the Capitol siege

WNYC News | Jan 9, 2023

Friday, Jan. 6 marked the second anniversary of the storming of the US capitol building. Here at New York Public Radio, one of our own employees had a very personal connection to that event. Jordan Walthour was a contractor working with the Capitol Police at the time.  And while he wasn’t in the capitol building, and wasn’t part of that agency's security response to the rioters, he still saw things that day he will never forget.
