When a pro-Trump mob took the Capitol by storm, former Vice President Mike Pence was swiftly moved from the Senate chamber
Before being escorted to safety, Pence was within 40 feet of the pro-Trump mob, CBS News reported. He was transported to a loading dock beneath the Capitol
In March, a Secret Service inspector named Lanelle Hawa said during an accused rioter’s trial that Pence spent “several hours, approximately four or five hours” in the Capitol’s underground loading dock throughout the attack.
“It’s located underneath the Capitol building, sort of under the plaza on the Senate side”, Hawa said.
“When we got down to the secure location, Secret Service directed us to get into the cars, which I did, and then I noticed that the vice president had not”, Greg Jacob, then Pence’s senior counsel, said at a Thursday public hearing.
