WASHINGTON - The leader of the Democratic team prosecuting Donald Trump’s impeachment trial welled up in tears on Tuesday as he recalled his 24-year-old daughter and son-in-law hiding in fear in the U.S. Capitol during the rampage by the former president’s supporters.
When he invited his family to witness the Jan. 6 joint session of Congress to certify Democrat Joe Biden’s presidential election victory, Raskin, 58, was also mourning the Dec. 31 death of his 25-year-old son. But when the mob breached the Capitol, in a violent assault that left a Capitol Police officer and four other people dead, his daughter Tabitha and other family members were left to huddle in an office off the floor of the House of Representatives.
Imagine the fear the people working here went through seeing this burn...
