At 2:26 p.m. on Jan. 6, 2021, the Secret Service evacuates Vice President Mike Pence from his office across from the Senate chamber. He is eventually whisked away to a loading dock under the Capitol. The January 6 Committee later determines that Pence came within 40 feet of approaching rioters. Trump had tweeted at 2:24 p.m. criticizing Pence for refusing to implement his illegal scheme to overturn the election results.
