Raskin gestured to the pin on his lapel identifying him as a member of the House and said lawmakers were removing them as they evacuated. Officer Brian Sicknick died from his injuries the next day. Other officers suffered brain damage, had their eyes gouged and one lost three fingers, Raskin said. He recalled how a rioter mercilessly pummeled a police officer with an American flag pole. Raskin said he’ll never forget the haunting sound of a battering ram that rioters pounded against the House door. Now, he's leading the impeachment case against Donald Trump. A week later he survived the Capitol riots.
“They thought they were going to die,” Raskin said amid tears while speaking during the first day of President Donald Trump's second impeachment trial. While separated from Raskin, they sent desperate texts to loved ones while hiding beneath a table. Raskin, D-Md., said the young adults watched the proceedings from the balcony above the chamber before returning to an office where they barricaded the door. Jamie Raskin choked up repeatedly Tuesday as he recalled assuring his daughter, Tabitha, and son-in-law Hank that it would be safe to watch the House count Electoral College votes on Jan.
