The U.S. Supreme Court on July 8 declined a second request to shield the identities of police officers fighting a public records request seeking information about their attendance at the Jan. 6, 2021, rally at the U.S. Capitol.

The four unidentified current and former Seattle law enforcement officers said they were investigated and cleared of wrongdoing in connection with their attendance at the rally, which was followed by a security breach at the U.S. Capitol.
