Cause Of Death Revealed For Sergeant At Arms In Charge Of Capitol Security On Jan. 6
Stenger's death had NO CONNECTION TO JAN. 6.
The cause of death for the Senate’s Sergeant-at-Arms who was in charge of Capitol security on Jan. 6 has been revealed.
According to the Washington Post, Michael Stenger, 71, “died of natural causes, according to two people familiar with the matter.” The Post also cited The Associated Press, which reported that sources claimed Stenger was ill over a battle with cancer, though it’s not clear what form of cancer he had.
The Post adds:
Stenger had served in the role as the sergeant-at-arms of the Senate since 2018 and had previously worked for the U.S. Secret Service for more than three decades.
Sen. Mitch McConnell, who was majority leader at the time, requested Stenger’s resignation the day after the pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol. The Senate’s top Democrat, Sen. Chuck Schumer, had vowed that he would fire Stenger when he became Senate majority leader later in the month.
The House sergeant-at-arms, Paul Irving, and Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund, also turned in their resignations after the riot.
“Stenger and Irving testified to the Senate Rules Committee in February 2021 about security at the Capitol, the response to the attack and the decision in the days leading up to the riot — as members of the Capitol Police Board, which oversees the force — to not have the National Guard at the Capitol in order to quell any violence. Stenger was also mentioned extensively in the committee’s report examining the attack,” the Post continued.
