AMNA NAWAZ: In the day's other headlines: Two police officers who defended the Capitol on January 6 filed a lawsuit today to try to block the government's so-called anti-weaponization fund.

Former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn and Officer Daniel Hodges of the Metropolitan Police Department say the Trump administration created the fund -- quote -- "to finance the insurrectionists and paramilitary groups that commit violence in his name."

The administration says it's meant to compensate those who believe they have been mistreated by the U.S.

legal system.

During congressional testimony yesterday, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche did not rule out whether that could include January 6 rioters.

More than 100 police officers were injured during that attack.

Meantime, on the ground, health workers say they're underprepared to deal with the outbreak.

Then he started bleeding and vomiting a lot.

And former Congressman Barney Frank, the longtime liberal Democrat and a trailblazer for gay rights, has died.

Frank began his political career in the Boston mayor's office before winning a seat in the Massachusetts House.

He ran for Congress in 1980, where he stayed for more than three decades.

Frank was the first congressman to come out as gay on his own terms.

Others had been outed through scandal.

His biggest legislative achievement came after the 2008 financial crisis.

REP.

BARNEY FRANK (D-MA): The American people, we're told, have said no more expansion of government.

Not in the area certainly of financial regulation.

AMNA NAWAZ: As chair of the House Financial Services Committee, Frank helped craft what came to be known as the Dodd-Frank Act, the most significant financial reform bill since the New Deal.

He retired in 2013.

And just before leaving office, he told the "News Hour"s Paul Solman, why he went into politics in the first place, delivered with his signature quick wit.

FMR.

REP.

BARNEY FRANK: It's to make it fairer, fairness in the sense of people not going hungry and being deprived through no fault of their own, or even if it was their fault, but not letting people sink to that level of misery, ending discrimination.

PAUL SOLMAN: What grade do you give yourself, one to 10?

FMR.

REP.

BARNEY FRANK: Oh, I give myself a 10 for being smart enough not to answer that question.

Either you sound humble in a way that is literally incredible, not credible, or you sound arrogant.

I will say none of the above.

But he remained outspoken and opinionated, offering advice to his fellow Democrats up until his final days.

Barney Frank was 86 years old.
