In the dramatic second day of former President Donald Trump’s Senate trial, Democratic impeachment managers presented chilling, never-before-seen video of the deadly U.S. Capitol attack.

In the footage, a pro-Trump rioter can be heard demanding to know where lawmakers are counting the Electoral College votes as Capitol Police officer Eugene Goodman tries to hold the mob at bay.

Security footage showed Sens. Mitt Romney and Chuck Schumer narrowly escaping the violent mob as they flee for safety.

The prosecution presented the footage after arguing earlier in the day that Trump had laid the groundwork for violence months earlier by falsely claiming the election was stolen through fraud.

Trump’s words in his speech at the Jan. 6 rally were carefully chosen to incite his supporters, the impeachment managers argued. His team knew about plans to attack the Capitol circulating online, they alleged.

The Democrats still have a steep hill to climb to convict Trump, despite widely panned presentations Tuesday by his lawyers, Bruce Castor and David Schoen. Only six Republicans sided with all 50 Democratic senators to vote in favor of commencing with the trial. A two-thirds vote is needed for conviction.

However, Republican Sens. John Thune and Susan Collins both called the case presented Wednesday “compelling.”
