Capitol Police Lead the WayThe Post & Email
In a video taken from the Upper West Terrace of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, at approximately the halfway mark U.S. Capitol Police are seen leading a group of visitors through the hallway and a set of double doors in a non-confrontational way.
The video segment (

That evening, Johnson wrote on “X” that the total footage to be made public would consist of “more than 40,000 hours,” with approximately 4,000 hours “that may involve sensitive security information related to the building architecture” to be withheld.
The video shows police officers leading apparent Trump supporters through the hallway who were carrying flags bearing the then-president’s name, backpacks, cellphones and/or homemade signs and wearing clothing reflective of the winter weather.
Hundreds of citizens entering the Capitol that day had attended a rally at the Ellipse which Trump held to protest the election results. Later in the day, Congress was to hold its quadrennial joint session to tally the electoral votes to confirm the election of the president.
