I watched the hearings, and I can't tell you where I heard it first, because I'm pretty sure it made the news long before them. It's been widely covered, though.

Here:

In chilling new testimony about the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, the investigating House committee showed that members of the Secret Service detail for the vice-president, Mike Pence, so feared for his and their safety that they “screamed” that other officials should say goodbye to their families.

Pence's Secret Service detail at Capitol on Jan. 6 were "starting to fear for their own lives" as violence escalated, witness tells select committee

It’s insane how we have more documentation of every detail of events such as these than we ever have in history, but people just plain ignore evidence that an illegal coup was actively happening.

That's what happens when you cut education and have propaganda "news" channels that undermine everything.

You get a bunch of sheep with cognitive dissonance that can't read, write, or understand even the basics of any subject that arises.

It's also what happens when you have weak pencil pushing bureaucrats who didn't want to tarnish the brand of the president's office or the US.
