IMPORTANT: This is a video I captured inside one of the offices of Nancy Pelosi after dozens of alleged Trump supporters occupied it

It seems that staff left in such a hurry that they forgot to lock the doors because there were no signs of forced entry

Some vandalized it

Not only that, but one of the staffer’s computers in her office was left unlocked, leading to concerns of security compromise

I did not see anyone accessing these computers directly but I took this image because it shows how quickly people fled

I previously deleted this picture out of caution for privacy concerns

After I was alerted it may have contained sensitive information, which it did not

So I re-edited it and am providing it here with the warning visible so people can see how quickly staffers reacted & fled

This is the initial group I was following who entered the chamber offices

I was alongside other members of the press who were capturing this incredible footage the world was seeing yesterday

Very proud of the brave people who risked their safety to tell this breaking story

Right near the offices you can see that the amount of tear gas deployed was so thick, it created a zero visibility situation and actually pushed the crowds away from the main hallways into the office areas where the air was clear and people were able to breath
