Timeline of insurrection at the heart of Trump’s 2nd trial

By Nikhila Natarajan New York, Feb 9 : Grisly visuals from about six hours of violent action by a pro-Trump mob starting around 1 pm on January 6 will occupy centre stage during Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial that kicks off Tuesday at the US Capitol.
Trump’s lawyers will argue that he is not guilty of the single charge of “incitement of insurrection”, and that his fiery rhetoric ahead of the siege is not a causal factor in the storming of the Capitol that killed five people and injured many others.
Democrats plan to unload a visual mosaic that captures the horror of January 6. Almost everything they present will revolve around the events of a single day, with occasional context from other times. At least 211 people from 43 states have been charged so far in the attack, and digital media evidence has poured into the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Below is a rewind to the slow explosion in the first two hours of crisis on January 6, which will be on full public view again at the Trump trial. The Democrats say they are approaching this as a “criminal” case.
The 1 pm hour: Trump is almost finished with his remarks at the Ellipse Park, a 52-acre park south of the White House fence and north of Constitution Avenue and the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
