The New Yorker on Sunday released new footage from inside the U.S. Capitol by a reporter who followed the rioters through the building and into the Senate chambers.
An early scene in the video shot by reporter Luke Mogelson shows the crowd marching through the building and chanting "treason" and "defend your constitution, defend your liberty."
"You're outnumbered," one man tells an officer attempting to block the mob. The man adds, "We are listening to Trump, your boss."

Another man in the video can be heard shouting, “Where the f--- are they," as he peers into the Senate chambers.
"There wasn’t nearly enough law enforcement to fend off the mob, which pelted the officers with cans and bottles," Mogelson wrote in his detailed account of the Capitol breach.
