Mark Zaid, the whistleblower attorney who is also representing Dunn, late last week posted this Twitter thread flagging that after Fox News host Tucker Carlson attacked Dunn on his show as an \"angry left-wing political activist\" he received \"numerous vile/racist\" messages, with some citing Carlson's comments.

Fanone, an officer with the Metropolitan Police Department who was brutally attacked by rioters on Jan. 6, video shows, told ABC News Congressional Correspondent Rachel Scott that he plans to testify in uniform Tuesday and said he won't let politics hinder his appearance.

\"I don't get care what the vehicle is -- as long as the truth comes out,\" he said, when asked about Republicans who are throwing cold water on the committee. Fanone was at the Capitol Monday to prepare for the hearing.

He added that he supports any investigation that is looking for a \"factual account\" of what happened that day.

Back in May, Fanone and Dunn escorted the family of fallen Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick door-to-door on Capitol Hill pleading with Republicans for an independent commission.

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., a member of the panel and chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, who briefed reporters ahead of the hearing, said there will be a mix of old and new video footage shown Tuesday.

Asked why they're starting with these witnesses, Schiff said they can \"explain what took place and what we're seeing in these clips and also put to rest some of the revisionist history, the effort to whitewash what took place and understand keenly the importance of getting to the truth about what led up to that insurrection and what happened thereafter.\"

\"We really want to hear from the officers and the videos are designed to have them explain what they saw and what they confronted,\" he said.
