Video released of MMA fighter punching cop during Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection

The United States Department of Justice released footage of an MMA fighter attacking a police officer during the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection.

Scott Fairlamb, who also runs a gym in Pompton Lakes, New Jersey, can be seen shoving a police officer before punching him in the face. He was also reportedly among the first to storm the building.

Fairlamb, whose brother is a Secret Service agent who once led Michelle Obama’s security team, was identified after multiple people sent tips to the FBI, which led to his arrest in January. He was indicted in February on 12 federal criminal counts but pleaded not guilty on April 13.
