The January 6 committee has descried chilling new details at the most recent hearing about the effort to protect then-Vice President Mike Pence as rioters entered the Capitol

In the presentation, part of which you just saw, the committee showed how close Pence was to the mob, noting at one point there was only “40 feet between the Vice President” and the rioters.

At 2:24 pm, the Secret Service had moved Pence from the Senate chamber to his office across the hall… when former President Trump tweeted: QUOTE: “Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our country and our Constitution.”

The committee says “30 seconds later opened the East door just down the hall, and just 30 seconds after that rioters breached the crypt, one floor below the Vice President.”

At 2:26 pm, Secret Service rush Vice President Pence down the stairs… to a secure location.

Following the display of the exhibit, committee member Pete Aguilar added approximately 40 feet was all there was between the Vice President and the mob.

Israel expands military strikes in Lebanon

Israel has widened its military operations in Lebanon, launching a deadly airstrike in the northern region. The attack, which targeted a house sheltering displaced families, killed at least 21 people, leaving eight others injured, according to health officials. Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble for survivors.

This shift marks a significant escalation, as Israel had previously focused its strikes on the south, the Bekaa Valley, and Beirut’s outskirts. Meanwhile, millions of Israelis are taking cover from cross-border rocket fire as the violence intensifies. Israel has also ordered the evacuation of 25 villages in southern Lebanon. Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed to continue targeting Hezbollah “without mercy,” even extending operations to Beirut.
