you with us here on this wednesday night. and we begin tonight with the harrowing images revealed late today in the second impeachment trial of former president trump. house managers essentially working as prosecutors, making the case on this second day of the trial. that the former president's own words, not just on the day of the deadly riots, but in the weeks and months ahead of that day, all led up to the siege at the capitol. they pointed to the president's words over and over again. and how supporters in the crowd were reacting in real time to what he was saying. and what they did next. a short time later at the capitol, they were there and then house managers late today with a warning about the graphic images they were about to show this country. much of it seen for the first time. rioters approaching the capitol, smashing in windows, then breaking right through them. and then crawling right into the capitol building. and today, for the first time, the view from inside from security cameras. alone officer overwhelmed, armed only with pepper spray. the rioters pouring in through the windows, breaching the capitol. we have reported here on the heroic officer, eugene goodman, and look at this view tonight. that's the senate door there on the right. he's guiding the rioters right past the door, leading them away from the senate chamber. tonight, harrowing video of vice president mike pence for the first time taken down the stairs to a safe shelter with members of his family. house managers saying some of the rioters were talking about assassinating the vice president. then the mob seen searching for house speaker nancy pelosi, at times using the president's nickname for her. and the audio from the hallways tonight. >> where are you, nancy? we're looking for you. nancy! oh nancy! nancy! >> that was the audio in their search for the house speaker. and this view tonight from an officer's body camera, the assault. we have reported on so many officers who came under attack that day. we will carefully guide you through it all here tonight and the reaction coming in right now from senators who were inside that chamber today, as the evidence was presented. abc's rachel scott leading us off from the hill again tonight. >> reporter: on day two of the trial, house managers, acting as prosecutors, made the case that former president trump's own words, not just on the day of the riots, but that his own words in the weeks and months rrt played out on january 6th. repeatedly telling supporters for months the only way trump loses is if it's rigged. >> his false claims about election fraud, that was the drumbeat being used to inspire, instigate, and ignite them, to anger them. >> reporter: they say he became the inciter in chief. tweeting, "be there, will be wild." then on that day, the former president saidhi >> you have to fight like hell. and if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore. >> reporter: house managers methodically showed how the supporter supporters in the crowd that day received those words from the president. and late today, house managers issued a warning before showing these images. what happened shortly after the president's own words. never before seen security footage from inside the capitol on january 6th. the vice president whisked from the senate chamber down a staircase to safety. >> while the vice president pence was being evacuated from the senate chamber, rioters were, at that time, breaking into the capitol. >> reporter: showing what was happening outside. trump supporters smashing the window. then, the view from inside. >> we are seeing the inside view as the mob approaches from outside and beats the windows and doors. and a lone police officer inside responds and begins to spray the first man who enters but is quickly overwhelmed. among this group are members of the proud boys. >> reporter: you can see senator mitt romney warned by officer eugene goodman to find safety, then seen running down a hallway. senator chuck schumer and others fleeing, too. >> as you were moving through that hallway, i paced it off. you were just 58 steps away from where the mob was amassing and were police were rushing to stop them. >> reporter: staffers seeking shelter wherever they could as rioters breached the building. house managers repeatedly made the case -- the president's own words led to this. many supporters carrying the trump flag. >> so they came, draped in trump's flag and used our flag, the american flag, to batter and to bludgeon. >> reporter: they again spoke of the heroism of officer eugene goodman, who can be seen leading rioters past a door. that door is the entrance to the senate chamber. impeachment manager stacey plasket on the danger for the vice president. >> they were talking about assassinating the vice president of the united states. >> reporter: and then, the images as they search for house speaker nancy pelosi. >> where are you, nancy? we're looking for you! nancy! oh nancy! nancy! where are you, nancy? >> reporter: showing the speaker's staff hiding under a table as the speaker's office is ransacked. you can hear her staffers whispering in horror. >> they're with -- we need capitol police come into the hallway. they're pounding on doors trying to find her. >> reporter: it was graphic, visceral and it was personal for the senators who now serve as the judge and jury in the impeachment trial of former president donald trump. and they argue the president reacted with glee and delight when the violent mob lay siege on the capitol. >> he watched it on tv like a reality show. he reveled in it and he did nothing to help us as commander in chief, instead inciter in chief. >> reporter: and amid these new and horrifying images tonight, these words for the senators. the truth is, this attack never would have happened but for donald trump. >> so, let's get back to rachel scott, up on the hill again tonight for us. and of course, house managers, democrats working as prow koos or thes here, making their case first, as this trial unfolds. and they did so today, rachel, as you report tonight, using this harrowing evidence, much of it never seen by the country before. and rachel, i'm curious, what was the reaction inside the chamber as the evidence was being presented? and i know some senators on both sides are now -- who are now jurors of course now reacting to all of this tonight. >> reporter: david, complete silence inside of the chamber. senators straining in their seats, shaking their heads in disgust. republican senator lisa murkowski saying tonight that she is outramged, calling that evidence damning. and then senator mitt romney said it was the first time seeing that footage, watching the moments where he ran for his safety. he said he did not flinch at all, but he had no idea that that violent mob was just steps away. tonight, romney thanking the officer that warned him that danger was ahead. that office, of course, was eugene goodman. tonight, he was spotted right outside the senate chamber, david. >> really something for the senators to see themselves in the images for the first time. rachel scott, thank you. the former president in mar-a-lago, now his defense will come, of course, later in the trial. i do want to bring in jonathan karl, our chief washington correspondent tonight, and jon, so many of those images we hadn't seen before and, of course, the video of former vice president mike pence, an ardent supporter of president trump for four years, so loil to the president, then seen escorted from the chamber, whisked to safety, his life in danger. and we reported at the time here there was no call from the president to check in on the well-being of his vice president. >> reporter: david, this was damning on so many levels. it was especially jarring to hear those blood thirsty chance for mike pence's life and to know how close that mob, to see how close that mob came to getting to him and consider this. while pence was locked in a room just outside the senate chamber and as that mob was closing in, donald trump took to twitter to attack pence for not having courage, for not having the courage to overturn the election. and we now know that just two minutes after that tweet from donald trump, was when pence was rushed out to safety and the mob was closing in. and you're right, we reported earlier that donald trump didn't bother to call, to check in on mike pence during that day, in fact, david, it was several days later before he even spoke to his vice president. >> all right, jon karl on that part of the story tonight. jon, thank you. and of course, the rioters, you saw in all those new images released today, the arrests across the country. i want to bring in pierre thomas, our chief justice correspondent, on this part of the story tonight. as we go back to the video, the body camera video, officers under attack, overwhelmed. the house managers, congresswoman stacey plaskett making the case that among those in the crowd were members of violent extremist groups, proud boys and others. pierre, what are you learning about the groups involved in this and the arrests tonight? >> reporter: david, the video and the audio are chilling. hearing the concern in the voice of the officers and seeing the fury and the violence they faced, so compelling. i'll never forget the look in the eye of the d.c. police officer who told me that as he was being beaten by that mob, some were yelling, "shoot him with his own gun." they played a portion of our interview today during the senate trial and we now know that among those in the crowd were proud boys, militia members, qanon conspiracy believers and others. and david, some of them have been accused of planning to attack beforehand. nearly a dozen exmembers of the military have been arrested along with several police and even an attorney. as one source put it, it was a large and broad group. 400 arrested so far. >> our entire team on this day two of the trial. our thanks to you all. in the meantime, we move onto other news this wednesday evening. the new cdc report showing that tightly fitted masks make a difference. and a tightly fitted mask with a cloth mask over it is also effecti effective. what the numbers show in this new study and word tonight from the new cdc director. and of course, the race to vaccinate in this country. 33,738,000 people getting at least one dose. that's 10.2% of the population, as we continue to track this. abc's whit johnson tonight at new york's citifield. >> reporter: tonight, the cdc is out with new evidence that shows how important it is how your mask fits. the cdc conducted experiences to assess two ways of improving the fit of masks. first, wearing a medical procedure mask and fitting a cloth mask over it. second, wearing a m.edical procedure mask, then knotting the ear loops. each scenario could reduce the risk of transmission by more than 95%. >> the bottom line is this masks work, and they work best when they have a good fit, and are worn correctly. >> reporter: the proper use of masks and getting more people vaccinated, all the more critical with new variants raging across the country. california today reporting its first two cases of the more contagious south african variant. >> we have vaccines that work well against it, and obviously we are going to be planning if necessary to upgrade vaccines in the future if we ever have to do that. >> reporter: some experts suggesting the increase in mutations may require vaccine shots every year in the near future. >> i you this we're going to try to configure a vaccine that has much more durable and widespread protection, but that may take a few years. >> reporter: the biden administration says the nation's vaccine supply has increased by 30% since taking office. the u.s. now averaging nearly 1.5 million vaccinations a day. but getting vaccinated still a challenge. long lines from texas to illinois. in new york city, citi field at but opening day comes with a dose of reality -- limited supply. for now the stadium can only offer about 200 shots per day. >> we can do 5,000 vaccinations a day here. >> reporter: david, back to the new study on masks, whether it's wearing two masks or twisting the ear loops, it is all about having a snug fit. and to be clear, the cdc is not recommending any changes to its guidelines, they just want to make sure most importantly that everyone is wearing that mask. david? >> that's right, whit, in their words, the bottom line, masks work, they work best when they have a good fit. so, either wear it very fitted, with that nose clip, or the cloth mask over it. those are the two scenarios they put out there today, just to say, remember, everyone, that the fit of the mask actually makes a difference. whit johnson, thank you.
