WASHINGTON — The House of Representatives committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol on Thursday highlighted footage of U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., fleeing the Senate Chamber as the building was being overrun by a mob of Trump supporters.
The video served as a rebuke to the image Hawley projected that day, when he was captured in a photograph confidently raising his fist to protesters who would later violently break into the U.S. Capitol building.
U.S. Rep. Elaine Luria, D-Va., showed the committee the famous photo of Hawley along with a comment from a member of the U.S. Capitol Police who watched the moment.
