The Chicago Police Department has concluded its investigation into nine officers whose names appeared on a leaked membership list of the Oath Keepers, a far-right, anti-government extremist group known for its involvement in the Jan. 6 riot. Despite earlier promises by Police Superintendent Larry Snelling for a thorough investigation, the department announced that the allegations were not sustained and no disciplinary actions will be taken against the officers. The decision has been defended by Superintendent Snelling, stating that the investigations were comprehensive.
