French brothers Jules and Gedeon Naudet are known for their documentary about New York firefighters that became “9/11” – an on-the-ground account of the Sept. 11 terror attacks in the city. Over two decades later, the brothers have made another docu about an attack on America’s democracy titled “January 6th.” Told from the perspective of the Capitol and Metropolitan police officers, journalists, senators and congressmen, the doc is meant to be an apolitical account of the attack on the U.S. Capitol in 2021. Then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Metropolitan Police Commander Robert Glover, and former congresswoman Liz Cheney, are among the 50 survivors who participated in the two-and-a-half-hour Discovery+ film.
The Naudet brothers spoke to Variety about their decision not to interview Capitol insurrectionists, making a film without political bias, and why they specifically wanted to partner with Discovery+.

Even with the threat of a return to jail, one QAnon supporter could not escape the lure of MyPillow guy Mike Lindell and his conspiracy theories.
On Thursday, QAnon supporter Doug Jensen was sent back to prison for violating the terms of his release when he went online to watch false election fraud conspiracy videos. Jensen was infamously captured on video chasing police officer Eugene Goodman near the Senate chamber during the January 6th insurrection. He was arrested and charged days later.
In a pre-trial filing, Jensen said that he...

Washington — In the coming weeks, the battle over democracy’s future in America will hit a boil.
On one side is a group that looks at the last election and sees a resilient but damaged system. A system that withstood — sometimes only barely — a raging pandemic, a conspiracy-theory-peddling president, a major political party all too eager to amplify that president’s lies, a wave of hail-mary lawsuits intended to overthrow the election result, and a violent insurrection in the halls of the U.S. Capitol.

Stephen Colbert devoted his entire “Late Night” monologue to day two of Donald Trump’s impeachment trial, which on Wednesday featured disturbing new footage from the Capitol riot on January 6, which Trump is on trial for allegedly inciting.
The Capitol security camera footage Democratic impeachment managers showed included Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman saving Sen. Mitt Romney from the mob, as well as footage of former Vice President Mike Pence and his family being evacuated to a secure location as the mob was looking for Pence. They wanted to get him because he refused to overturn the election results that showed Trump lost.
“This is a strange and disturbing day in our nation’s history, and not just because Republican senators are willing to ignore a near-fatal attack on their own vice president, but because today it is possible to be grateful to Mike Pence,” Colbert joked.

Washington — The screams of D.C. Police Officer Daniel Hodges as the Maga mob nearly crushed the life out of him. The soundless security footage of Officer Eugene Goodman sprinting through the halls of the Capitol and pointing Senator Mitt Romney to safety. The sight of an angry mob member attacking a cop with a Blue Lives Matter flag in one hand.
These were some of the most searing images from the second full day of Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial. The House impeachment managers spent most of Wednesday...

3rd Update, 6:45 Pm: The focus of the impeachment trial on Wednesday is rightfully on the footage of the Capitol siege. Some of it — like the security footage of senators racing to evacuate the chamber — had not been shown publicly before. Other clips took on new meaning as impeachment managers built a timeline of Trump’s call to “fight like hell” and the subsequent insurrection at the Capitol.
But as interesting was the way that the impeachment managers focused on Mike Pence. There were multiple references and clips of rioters who could be heard chanting “hang Mike Pence.”
“Mike Pence is not a traitor to this country. He is a patriot,” said impeachment manager Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-tx). He and Pence don’t agree on much, but his point was turned on one of Trump’s biggest defenders when he wouldn’t do what the then-president wanted him to do: Overturn the election results,...

Talk about a well-deserved promotion. Eugene Goodman, a Capitol police officer, escorted the nation's very first female vice president (and first VP of color) Kamala Harris at the 2021 presidential inauguration. Just two weeks before the Jan. 20 festivities, Goodman heroically led rioters away from the Senate chamber after the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. was breached by a swarm of Donald Trump supporters protesting the results of the 2020 presidential election. And now, Goodman has been named the acting deputy sergeant at arms. "There is a new acting deputy and guess who what acting deputy is?" CBS News' Norah O'Donnell said during...
