upholds his faith, his duty and upholds the constitution and mike pence is not a traitor to this country. he s a patriot. and he and his family who was with him that day didn t deserve this, didn t deserve a president unleashing a mob on them especially because he was just doing his job. as this was unfolding and the crowd grew more violent, the president, of course, was not alone at the white house, and the people closest to him, his family and advisers who saw this unfolding in real time begged him, implored him to stop the attack. an aide to mark meadows, the president s chief of staff, urged his boss to go see the president say, quote, they are going to kill people. they re going to kill people. that s what those around president trump feared, and still nothing. it wasn t until 2:38 p.m., nearly two hours after the start of the siege that donald trump even acknowledged the attack. and when he finally did acknowledge the attack here s what he said. on the right you will se
real, it s hard to watch, today s case is worth seeing. so, tonight, we re highlighting the evidence presented by two house impeachment managers, stacey plaskett and eric swalwell. the new footage they laid out shows just how close lawmakers came to rioters who were out to get them. perhaps to kill them. vice president mike pence came extremely close. if the senate is going to convict mr. trump, it will do so partly on this new evidence released today. in this hour, we ll get out of the way and get you up to speed with extended cuts of the evidence. we begin with congresswoman stacey plaskett explaining how one capitol hill police officer saved a lot of lives. in this security footage, you can see officer goodman running to respond to the initial breach. officer goodman passes senator mitt romney and directs him to turn around in order to get to safety. on the first floor, just beneath them, the mob had already started to search for the senate chamber. officer goodman made
