Lawyers for Seattle officers leave public records case

SEATTLE (AP) — One day after an investigation found that two Seattle police officers violated the law while in Washington, D.C., during the insurrection on Jan. 6, lawyers representing the officers in a public records case filed a motion to leave that case. The six officers had filed a lawsuit to keep their identities secret. They appealed after a judge granted release of their names in March. The Office of Police Accountability released a report on Thursday saying two of the officers broke the law and should be fired. On Friday, the officers’ lawyers filed a motion to leave the public records case. They didn’t give a reason.
