Fox confirms that Michael Stenger, the Senate Sergeant at Arms who was in charge of Senate security the day of the Capitol riot, has died. Stenger was a GOP appointee and in charge of security in the Senate wing of the Capitol on January 6 last year. Republicans still controlled the Senate the day of the riot. That’s because the Georgia Senate race which settled control of the Senate was still up in the air the day of the Capitol attack. Stenger was fired shortly after the riot because of the unprecedented security failure.
