Horrific never-before-seen body-cam footage exposed to public

Never-before-seen footage is being revealed at the January 6 Capitol riot hearing after 11 months of investigation

The committee showed extensive video footage laying out the chronology of the Jan. 6 attack.

The video includes timestamps and audio of officers responding to crowds storming the building.

“We need backup,” a voice said as violent scenes play out.

The clips show rioters breaking windows and pushing through barricades.

“Hold the line! Hold the line!” officers yell as they physically clash with rioters at about 2 p.m. ET, according to the video.

“I need support,” an officer says over body camera footage of another officer getting pushed by crowds.

“We lost the line.”

The Jan. 6 committee showed never-before-seen footage of people rushing out of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s office during the early stages of the riot.

The clip was included in a montage of some of the most violent moments from the riot, including Trump supporters attacking police officers and smashing windows.

After the committee showed footage, injured officers spoke on their experience.

Capitol Police Officer Caroline Edwards was injured after she was part of an altercation involving members of the Proud Boys while defending the US Capitol during the riot.

“I was called a lot of things on January 6, 2021 and the days after. I was called Nancy Pelosi’s dog, called incompetent, called a hero and a villain. I was called a traitor to my country, my oath and my Constitution. In actuality, I was none of those things. I was an American standing face to face with other Americans, asking myself, how many times, many, many, times, how we had gotten here?”
