Senator
Ted Cruz (R-TX) came under attack by critics who saw him doing something with his phone in the middle of the Senate’s first hearing on the storming of the U.S. Capitol.
The Senate Homeland Security and Rules committees held a hearing on Tuesday to examine the insurrection of Jan. 6 and the security failures that allowed former President
Donald Trump’s supporters to violently infiltrate Congress. Former Capitol Police chief
Steven Sund was among the witnesses who gave testimony at the hearing, and as he spoke about intelligence assessments from before the Capitol riot, Cruz was spotted on camera tapping away at his phone.
