Eugene Goodman Warned Mitt Romney to Run from Rioters, Unseen Security Video from Capitol Shows
Never-before-seen security footage shows that Senator Mitt Romney narrowly evaded rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6, after Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman told him to run away from them.

Mitt Romney (R-UT) walks to the Senate Chamber on the first day of former President Donald Trump's second impeachment trial at the U.S. Capitol on February 9, 2021 in Washington, DC. House impeachment managers will make the case that Trump was singularly responsible for the January 6th attack at the U.S. Capitol and he should be convicted and barred from ever holding public office again.The video from a Capitol hallway camera is part of the House impeachment team's evidence in its case against former President Donald Trump.
The security footage, which doesn't include audio, shows Goodman running away from the violent mob just after it stormed the Senate side of the Capitol. Romney is seen casually walking in the direction of the Senate chamber, when Goodman meets him and waves him to turn around. Romney is then seen sprinting back toward his office in the opposite direction.
Senators were warned that there would be "very graphic violent footage coming" before the House impeachment managers began a detailed play-by-play of the siege.
It wasn't previously known how close Romney came to facing the rioters.
The insurrectionists were attempting to disrupt the certification of President Joe Biden's election, after Trump spread baseless claims that the election was stolen from him.
Romney, who has been a frequent foe of Trump, has been among a few Republican senators who have voted to continue with the impeachment trial, even though Trump is no longer in office.
This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
