As riot raged, Pence pleaded with the military to ‘clear the Capitol’

About two hours after a ​pro-Trump ​mob shattered windows and smashed doors to enter the Capitol on Jan. 6, then-Vice President Mike Pence called the acting defense secretary ​urgently seeking help ​to secure​​​ the federal building, according to newly revealed documents.

“Clear the Capitol,” Pence said to Christopher Miller while ​holed up in a secure facility, ​according to the previously undisclosed document prepared by the Pentagon and obtained by the Associated Press. Pence asked Miller for a deadline for the building to be secure.
