Officer Eugene Goodman, the US Capitol Police officer who led the mob of protesters away from the Senate chamber on January 6, 2021, as senators and then-Vice President Mike Pence were evacuating, testified on Monday that the mob breaching the Capitol and breaking into the lower levels of the building "looked like something out of medieval times."
Goodman described in court the scene at the western front of the Capitol, where rioters first breached the Capitol and "where you see one huge force clashing with the other." Goodman said police officers were trying to keep rioters at bay, while the massive mob stormed the building from the National Mall.
