The statement did not specify whether the six cases involved six separate agents or named any. CNN has contacted the USCP for clarification.

The USCP Office of Professional Responsibility initiated 38 internal investigations and was able to identify the agents involved in 26 of these cases. According to the statement, in 20 of the cases no fault was detected.
A seventh case involving an official accused of unsatisfactory conduct and inappropriate conduct is still pending.
The USCP provided the Department of Justice with information about the cases “as part of the production of ongoing findings in the January 6 riot prosecution,” and said the U.S. Attorney’s Office “did not find sufficient evidence. for none of the officers to commit a crime, “according to the statement.
