"Unseen Footage Reveals GOP Congressmen's Tense Standoff with Jan. 6 Rioters"

A newly released cell phone video shows Republican Congressman Troy Nehls scolding January 6 rioters from inside the barricaded House Chamber. The footage, part of a federal criminal proceeding against convicted rioter Damon Beckley, captures Nehls, a former Texas law enforcement officer, expressing his shame at the scene. Fellow Republican and then-Representative, now Senator, Markwayne Mullin is also seen in the video but does not engage with the mob. The release coincides with the third anniversary of the Capitol assault, with nearly 1,200 people charged and over 700 guilty pleas. Beckley awaits sentencing, with prosecutors recommending a 37-month prison term.
