Witness to the Capitol Insurrection

Here Now the News with Jerry Barmash

Historian Terry Bouton had an expected front row seat to the deadly unrest at the U.S. Capitol January 6. While his wife took photos, the couple attempted to stay inconspicuous while violence erupted just yards away inside the government building. Bouton talks about many of the right wing extremists who were in close contact and gives a first-hand account of how poorly handled the police response was. The University at Maryland Baltimore County associate professor also talks about Donald Trump and his impending impeachment trial in the Senate.
