Jan. 6 House select committee member Rep. Jamie Raskin speaks on the insurrection a year later

Jamie Raskin is a member of the committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot.

One year after the Jan. 6 insurrection, Maryland Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin reflected on the whirlwind period between the death of his 25-year-old son and the impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump following the attack.

Raskin's son, Tommy Raskin, died by suicide on New Year's Eve 2020. The day after his son was buried, Raskin was on Capitol Hill when supporters of Trump stormed the Capitol.

"The day after we buried Tommy in a small family COVID-19 graveside service, we had the violent insurrection at the Capitol and the attempt to overthrow the 2020 presidential election by Donald Trump," said Raskin, who wrote about the experience in his new book, "Unthinkable: Trauma, Truth, and the Trials of American Democracy."

Soon after, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi asked Raskin to be the lead impeachment manager in Trump's impeachment trial.
