Inside Jan. 6: Officer Harry Dunn on the Fight to Defend Democracy - Amanpour and Company
An unprecedented trial is beginning in Colorado. A handful of Republican and independent voters are trying to ban former president Donald Trump from ever entering the White House again, over his role in the January 6th insurrection.
Officer Harry Dunn was defending the Capitol when the riots took place, and now he’s written a book about the experience called "Standing My Ground." He tells Michel Martin how he tried to save America that day. This conversation is part of Preserving Democracy, our ongoing initiative about threats to democracy, the impact of changes to voting laws and what citizens need to know. Originally aired on Oct 30, 2023.
