National Security Council staff were listening in real time to Secret Service radio traffic on Jan. 6 as agents were making active decisions of where to move Vice President Mike Pence and as they made calculations about the level of danger. Some even began making calls to family, fearing for their lives, said a security professional, whose identity was protected and who was working out of the White House that day.
NSC chat logs from just after 2 p.m. show live updates on the breach of the Capitol: "Service at the Capitol does not sound good right now," one reads at 2:24 p.m.
"The members of the VP detail at this time were starting to fear for their own lives," the security professional said in a recorded interview. "There was a lot of yelling, a lot of very personal calls over the radio, so it was very disturbing...there were calls to say goodbye to family members."
