âClear the Capitol,â Pence pleaded, timeline of riot shows
WASHINGTON (AP) â From a secure room in the Capitol on Jan. 6, as rioters pummeled police and vandalized the building, Vice President Mike Pence tried to assert control. In an urgent phone call to the acting defense secretary, he issued a startling demand.
âClear the Capitol,â Pence said.
Elsewhere in the building, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi were making a similarly dire appeal to military leaders, asking the Army to deploy the National Guard.
âWe need help,â Schumer, D-N.Y., said in desperation, more than an hour after the Senate chamber had been breached.
