Two former New Jersey men have been arrested for assaulting US Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who died in the January attack on Congress, a report said Monday.
Julian Elie Khater, 32, and George Pierre Tanios, 39, face nine criminal counts for discharging bear spray into the faces of three officers including Sicknick, another Capitol Police officer and a DC cop, the Washington Post said.
Authorities have not charged anyone in connection with Sicknick’s death, since officials have not determined the exact cause.
However, video showed Sicknick being beaten in the head with a fire extinguisher during the rioting. He died in a hospital the next day.
The two assault suspects were nailed by tipsters who recognized their mugs from surveillance video and cop body-cam footage that the FBI had put out in the days after the violence.

Two more Neandertals off the street. Good. RIP Mr Sicknick. We appreciate your sacrifice.
Why didn’t they charge them with murder? I’ll tell you why. Because he died of a stroke hours later at the precinct. Pelosi is so mad they can’t get anyone for a murder charge she had to drum up something. Do you even wonder why Pelosi would not approve the national guard coming to DC on the 6th? Even when Capitol Police and the sitting President requested troops.
Neanderthal. You must admire Biden so much you’re paraphrasing him. I can’t think of anything more pathetic.
You should be pleased with the crisis at the border, high gas prices, bombing of Syria…shall I go on? Now whose the Neanderthal? You people are utterly pathetic ?♀️
CAPITOL POLICE OFFICER BRIAN SICKNICK’S MOM SAYS SON DIED OF A STROKE, NOT A BLOW TO THE HEAD — BUT AUTHORITIES ARE STAYING MUM BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO MAKE UP A CRIME TO CHARGE SOMEONE WITH.
Well it looks like the Democrats could not charge anybody with a fire extinguisher death on Officer Sicknick so they had to find something else and of course the corrupt criminal FBI followed the Democrats orders like the dutiful little puppets they are so they have changed the crime to the chemical spray. ANOTHER MADE UP LIE!!! How come we still do not know the Officer that killed the woman inside the capitol building???? What is the Democrat cover up there??
Dig deeper these guys were not trump supporters ..thats another lie…marxist interlopers!!!
No cause of death = no murder = not slain.
