Treasurer Magaziner released the following statement on today's attack on the U.S. Capitol:
"My heart goes out to the innocent people who were put in harm's way by today's shameful attack on the U.S. Capitol. The terrorists who stormed the Capitol - and the politicians and pundits who instigated them by promoting baseless conspiracies - are attempting to undermine the democratic system that Americans hold dear. They will not succeed. Our democratic institutions will endure, the peaceful power of transition will continue, and our nation will heal."
