Trump impeachment: Graphic video shown as ex-president called 'inciter in chief'
During the second day of the trial of former US President Donald Trump in the Senate, on Wednesday, Democratic prosecutors presented videos that were shown for the first time, describing them as a "exceptional" glimpse of the violence, as well as the heroics that accompanied the January 6 attack on the Capitol Building.
Prosecutors also provided audio recordings of Congressional policemen reporting the violence they faced, and sometimes calling for help.
California Democrat Eric Swallowell, a chief prosecutor, warned Senators that some of the clips were violent.
Democratic prosecutors introduced new, never-before-seen clips of violent clashes between the attackers and Congressional police.
An aide to the accountability directors revealed in a phone call to reporters early Wednesday that Democrats will use "unprecedented clips that provide an extraordinary view of the Capitol building, and the attack, which has not been previously published, and which you will see starting today." for the first time".
The aide added that the footage will show the extent of the violence of pro-Trump rioters, and at the same time, the titanic efforts made by law enforcement officers to repel the crowd of rioters during the attack.
