Mike Fanone says he's quitting job as DC Police officer to join CNN

WASHINGTON — Mike Fanone, who became one of the faces of the Capitol Riot after he was brutally attacked by the mob January 6, tells WUSA9 he has resigned his position as an officer with the DC Metropolitan Police Department and is headed to CNN.

Fanone confirmed the news Monday in a series of text messages to WUSA9. Fanone says he will be serving as a law enforcement contributor for the cable news network.

CNN has yet to publicly confirm Fanone’s new position. The DC Police Department has yet to respond to a request for comment about Fanone’s departure.

Fanone seemed uncertain about his future when he sat down for an interview with WUSA9 in June.

When asked what he had decided about his future in policing, Fanone said “I don’t know. I’m not there yet.”
