Senate Sgt at Arms from Jan6 died Monday.
Before a Senate committee last year, Stenger said, “There is an opportunity to learn lessons from the events of January 6th. Investigations should be considered as to funding and travel of what appears to be professional agitators. First Amendment rights should always be considered in conjunction with professional investigations.”
Stenger and his then-House counterpart, Paul Irving, received significant criticism from members of Congress and the public for their handling of security on Jan. 6. The National Guard arrived about four hours after the riot started, raising issues about advanced warning, intelligence and prepared and who issued the calls for outside help and when.
The former Senate sergeant-at-arms who oversaw security during last year’s Capitol insurrection has died – one day before Tuesday’s hearing to present new evidence.
The Marine Corps veteran, 71, spent 35 years in the Secret Service before joining the Senate sergeant-at-arms team in 2011. He was later appointed to the post in 2018. Former colleagues were notified of his death Monday afternoon, Politico reported.
