Welcome to the beat. I am Ari Melbaugh, and tonight we begin with this. The Trump fans,

who infamously tried to overthrow the government on January 6th. What do you see in this picture?

A protest? A riot? The makings of some scattered illegal violence? Or do you see something worse?

One of the most severe felonies against the U.S., which is now on trial tonight.

Do you see sedition?

That is what federal prosecutors see, and what some juries saw and have now convicted,

and it's our special report for you right now.

We are living through a test of accountability.

The DOJ's effort to convict in these separate sedition trials,

two years out from an attack that might fade out of you for some people.

Today, the DOJ demanding juries continue to face what it felt like, what happened, the facts of that day.

It seems like they just rushed Mike Pence out really quickly.

Yes, they did. That's exactly what just happened there.

A moment I never saw in my life, These individuals just rushed through security. They are inside

Statuary Hall. Obviously, this is a huge victory for these protesters. They have disrupted

the system in an enormous way. I completely condemn the violence in the Capitol. I spoke

to the president. I asked him to talk to the nation to tell

him to stop this. This is not who we are. Guarantee you if that was a Black Lives Matter protest

in D.C., there would already be people shackled, arrested, or dead. Several federal crimes here

at issue, there's trespassing, obviously, going on to property in an unauthorized manner.

If you enter that building with a deadly weapon, that's a felony punishable up to 10 years.

Today was a dark day in the history of the United States Capitol.
