Critics have accused militants of pocketing money and causing damage, while officials tried to negotiate peacefully. Law enforcement considered using force to clear the building but ultimately did not. The White House team handling negotiations invoked executive privilege and did not testify. The government ultimately paid the protesters to leave.
