Police Officer Says Kevin McCarthy Is Lying

House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy said that Washington, DC police officer Michael Fanone, who was badly hurt during the January 6 insurrection and has been trying to set up a meeting with him, told CNN: “I’d gladly meet with him. We gave him the phone number to the scheduler and said we’d love to meet with you. Unfortunately he hasn’t followed up.”

But Fanone told the New York Times that McCarthy’s statement was “bullshit,” and said that no one gave him a phone number.
