New video of Capitol riot shown at Trump trial

Available for over a year

Dramatic new footage has been screened of last month's storming of Congress at the impeachment trial of Donald Trump. Security camera footage showed Trump's supporters breaking into the building. Senators also heard panicked radio messages between police as they were overwhelmed by the crowd. Officers ushered politicians to safety, sometimes within metres of the mob breaking into the chambers. We spoke to Jared Carter, professor of law at the University of Vermont who has been following developments closely.
