Watch: 'Get the president to tell them to leave', Schumer told attorney general during January 6 attack

Video showed Pelosi and Schumer, top Senate Republican Mitch McConnell, and Republican Senator John Thune calling the Department of Defense asking for military backup to help clear the Capitol complex

'But the fact is on any given day they're breaking the law in many different ways. And quite frankly, much of it at the instigation of the president of the United States,' Nancy Pelosi is heard saying in the video.

US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer and other top lawmakers urgently dialled military officials and White House staff seeking help during the January 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol by Donald Trump supporters, a video shown on Thursday revealed.

At what is likely its last hearing on the deadly attack, the House of Representatives Select Committee aired the previously unseen video that showed the fear gripping the Capitol as rioters stormed the building.
