   came away disappointed from his meeting with the top House Republican.

   WASHINGTON — For weeks, Michael Fanone, a Washington police officer who was   
   seriously injured during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, had asked to meet privately   
   with Representative Kevin McCarthy of California, the top House Republican, to   
   discuss the assault, to no avail.   
      
   So on Friday, when Officer Fanone finally got his session with Mr. McCarthy at   
   the Capitol, he had a clear request at the ready: for the minority leader to   
   publicly denounce the lies Republican lawmakers have been telling about the   
   deadly attack. He wanted Mr. McCarthy to push them to stop downplaying the   
   storming of the building, blaming left-wing extremists for an assault carried   
   out by former President Donald J. Trump’s right-wing supporters and spreading   
   the baseless conspiracy theory that the F.B.I. secretly planned it.   
      
   He came away disappointed.   
      
   “He said he would address it at a personal level, with some of those   
   members,”   
   Officer Fanone told reporters after the roughly hourlong meeting. “I think   
   that   
   as the leader of the House Republican Party, it’s important to hear those   
   denouncements publicly.”   
      
   Mr. McCarthy, who phoned Mr. Trump during the riot to plead with him to call   
   off   
   the mob and days later said the president bore responsibility for the rampage,   
   has since swung wildly in the other direction. He later said Mr. Trump was not   
   to blame, led the charge to purge Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming from the   
   party leadership for speaking out against the former president and rallied his   
   party to oppose the formation of an independent commission to investigate the   
   assault.
