Trump impeachment trial live updates: Biden says charge 'not in dispute' in 1st comments on acquittal

After Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., spoke, the Senate took a break for dinner. Arguments will resume at 6:15 p.m.

Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., presented video evidence which showed for the first time just how close House lawmakers were to rioters.

New security video showed members -- many in gas masks -- being escorted by Capitol Police out of the chamber and to another location, as police officers had guns drawn, with some rioters lying on the ground with their hands zip-tied. 

Swalwell also played video of the senators being escorted out of the Senate chamber. 

"Some of you, I understand, could hear them. But most of the public doesn't understand how close the rioters came to you," he said. "You were just 58 steps away from where the mob was amassing and where police were rushing to stop them."

"If the doors to the chamber had been breached just minutes earlier, imagine what they could have done with those cuffs," he said, showing a photo of a rioter in the chamber with plastic flex cuffs.

He then played video of senators walking by a group of Capitol Police officer barricading a hallway between them, and the rioters.

Swalwell also showed what he described as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's "near miss" with rioters, playing a video of Schumer being escorted down a hallway and doubling back to avoid running into the mob.

"They came within just 2 yards of the rioters and had to turn around," Swalwell said. 

He also played video from Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Mich., from the House gallery during the riot in which Rep. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., a Marine veteran, can be heard shouting to his colleagues, "Take your pins off!"

While House impeachment managers shared some of the most intense video and dispatch audio, much of which had never been seen publicly before. Reporters noted that senators on both sides of the aisle were listening and watching the videos intently.

Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, didn’t move and watched intently when they showed the video of U.S. Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman directing him away from rioters.

When the new videos were playing, there were a handful of empty seats, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., was one who was not at his desk. Some GOP senators opted to watch the proceedings from their cloak room. Reporters can't see them in there so it is unknown if they were watching it.

Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., continued presenting chilling security footage as part of House impeachment managers' case charging Trump with "incitement of insurrection" and also shared a personal text he sent while the building was under siege.

"Uncertain what would happen next, I sent a text message to my wife. 'I love you and the babies. Please hug them for me,'" Swalwell said. "I imagine many of you sent a similar message."

Security footage showed those who broke intro the Capitol overwhelmingly wearing Trump flags and merchandise and, separately, showed members of Congress being evacuated from their chambers.

"Throughout this presentation, we've been careful not to show where representatives got out," Swalwell added, "But that issue was under discussion by the insurrectionists themselves."

"One example comes from an FBI affidavit which stated the leader of a militia group known as the Oath Keepers received messages while at the Capitol. The leader was given directions to where representatives were thought to be sheltering and instructions to quote 'turn on gas, reel them in,'" Swalwell said.

Notably, video has surfaced showing Trump's longtime adviser Roger Stone in Washington on the morning of Jan. 6, flanked by members of the Oath Keepers militia group just hours before the deadly insurrection at the Capitol building.
