Never-before-seen footage of rioters at the US Capitol on Jan. 6 shown during public hearing

the question is on the motion to favorably report to the House. Those in favor say, aye, aye, we must stop this deal and then we must ensure that such outrageous election fraud never happens again, can never be allowed to happen again. You know, biden won the election, There is no evidence anywhere that there was widespread fraud that could have overturned that result. Nonetheless trump has continued to say that he won and that biden is not *** legitimate president and there are *** large chunk of people um who are supportive of trump, who still believe that. And so that is part of the reason that this committee really wants to, they're doing this hearing on thursday and prime time because they want to try to get attention. We know the basics of what happened on that day, It was on tv, it unfolded on television. Um, but there's *** lot of things behind the scenes that we still don't know. And the biggest question that they've been focused on is what trump was doing during the riot and what he might have known about people who were coming to town, any links between the White House and the rioters and especially, you know, what he was doing in those minutes and hours that the insurrection unfolded. But even as people were breaking into the building trump was still tweeting, trying to get Pence to do what he wanted him to do, which was to try and overturn the legitimate election of joe biden. There's *** domestic extremism component that we're expecting to see in one of the hearings with *** lot of the far right groups like the oath keepers and the proud boys who were organizing to *** large extent before the interactions. So I think we're going to see just sort of all of those different factors. *** lot of the unanswered questions about exactly how it went down with their stated goal of getting that out there for history, um, and having done the most comprehensive investigation possible. So it doesn't happen again for any one community, anyone city or anyone agency. We follow the facts and the law wherever they lead. Um, and that's all I can say about the investigation.

The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol showed never-before-seen footage of the insurrection during its first public hearing, which aired Thursday in primetime."It is hard to watch," Rep. Bennie Thompson said before the video was played.The new, graphic video moves through a timeline of the violence. It started with rioters angrily walking toward the Capitol, then showed them breaking through thin police barriers and brutally beating police.Using security footage, police body cameras, video from those who broke in and audio from the police scanner, the video showed rioters using flagpoles, tactical equipment and other weapons to hit officers as they overwhelmed them and broke inside. Some of the body camera footage was from the ground looking up, as officers watched their attackers beat them."We need backup," one officer is heard saying as violent scenes began to develop.The video below may contain profanity, violence and disturbing scenes. Viewer discretion is advised.At the same time, it showed what was happening inside — the beginning of the joint session to certify Biden's election win and, eventually, some lawmakers, including House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy, fleeing from the violence.And it showed the rioters chanting “Hang Mike Pence,” referring to the vice president who had defied Trump's orders to try to thwart Biden's certification, and chanting “Nancy! Nancy!” referring to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif."Hold the line! Hold the line!" officers were heard yelling around 2 p.m., according to the video's timeline. Another officer who was being pushed by crowds could be heard over body camera footage saying, "I need support," while another was heard saying, "We lost the line." Following the breach, the footage shown by the committee depicts rioters flooding the halls of the Capitol, members of Congress entering a recess and running to safety.The riot left more than 100 police officers injured, many beaten and bloodied, as the crowd of pro-Trump rioters, some armed with pipes, bats and bear spray, charged into the Capitol.
