The New Yorker released new on Sunday footage from the US Capitol by a reporter following the rioters through the building and the chambers of the Senate.
An early scene in the video shot by reporter Luke Mogelson shows the crowd marching through the building chanting “treason” and “defend your constitution, defend your freedom”.
“You’re in the minority,” a man tells an officer trying to block the crowd. The man adds, “We’re listening to Trump, your boss.”
Another man in the video can be heard shouting, “Where the f — are they,” as he peeks into the Senate chambers.
“There was nowhere near enough law enforcement to fend off the crowd that pelted the officers with cans and bottles,” Mogelson wrote in his detailed account of the Capitol breach.
The uprising at the Capitol eventually resulted in the death of 5 people, including a Capitol police officer, and caused President Trump

The video features agents trying to reason with the crowd as they are pushed back until the rioters gain access to the building, climb a flight of stairs, and run through the halls, throwing doors open.
Another part of the video shows a man in a white shirt rummaging through a folder on a Senate desk and saying, “There must be something here we can use against these bastards.”
“I think Cruz would like us to do this, so I think we’re good,” said another man. Democratic lawmakers have called for Sen. Ted Cruz

Rioters open senate offices and pull out documents. A man is seen on his cell phone asking for medical attention and says he was shot in the face with a plastic bullet.
Mogelson shot several shots of Jacob Anthony Chansley, the “QAnon Shaman,” walking around the Capitol shirtless wearing a horned hat. Chansley has since filed with authorities and asked for a pardon from President Trump.
Another scene caught by Mogelson showed the rioters destroying media equipment. One hears a man screaming, “Start making a list, write down all those names and we’ll look them one by one.”
Another man responds by shouting, “Traitors to the guillotine!”
Dozens of people have been arrested across the country since the breach. Most have been charged with unlawful entry into a restricted area. The FBI is currently gathering tips and information to track down those who participated in the riot.
