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?”
