A Capitol security officer has described the shocking scenes she witnessed trying to protect the building against pro-Donald Trump rioters fired up on false allegations the election had been rigged.
Caroline Edwards sustained a brain injury during the attack while trying to protect the building along with Capitol Hill Police Officer Brian Sicknick who later died.
Giving powerful testimony in front of the bi-partisan committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack, Ms Edwards compared the brutal violence she saw to a “war scene”.
