A newly released video from the Department of Justice shows new footage of the mob of Donald Trump supporters breaking into the Capitol, providing another view into the chaos that unfolded during the Jan. 6 insurrection.
In the video, police can be seen scrambling to keep the door shut, but within a matter of moments, the insurrectionists sporting tactical gear and waving “Make America Great Again” flags have breached the building. The video was uploaded online by NBC4 Washington investigative reporter Scott MacFarlane.
The department made the video public as part of its exhibit in its prosecution of a Detroit defendant, MacFarlane told NBC4 Washington on Tuesday.
