Rioters may have been within one minute of finding Vice President Mike Pence when they stormed the Capitol on January 6.
Pence was not evacuated from the Senate chamber until 14 minutes after rioters first began to break through the doors and enter the building — and when they reached the second floor landing, he had been moved to another room just 100 feet away, according to a report from The Washington Post.
Jessica Schneider broke down the report during a Friday appearance on “CNN Newsroom†with Jim Sciutto.
“Vice President Pence wasn’t whisked away until those rioters were even inside of the Capitol, so it says that for 14 minutes after the Capitol Police reported that initial breach, that is still when Vice President Pence was at the Senate dais,†Schneider explained.
Schneider went on to note that Pence’s wife and daughter were present as well, to witness as he presided over the certification of the Electoral College vote, and that all three were then taken to a nearby office.
