SEATTLE (AP) — A King County judge has denied a request that would stop the City of Seattle from disclosing records that would identify six Seattle police officers who participated in the Jan. 6 pro-Trump rally in Washington, D.C. The Seattle Times reports Superior Court Judge Sandra Widlan said Wednesday that the officers’ privacy arguments to prevent disclosure had failed because the officers traveled to Washington, D.C., and participated in a very public and publicized event. Widlan’s ruling essentially means the city can release records that identify the officers but the judge agreed to extend by seven days a temporary restraining order that prevents the disclosure while allowing the officers to seek an appeal.
