The dramatic pictures of January 6, 2021 show the wife of the then Vice President, Karen Pence, who hastily closes the curtains to hide them from the rioters in front of the window while the couple's daughter was scared.
The photos were taken by Mr. Pences Official photographer of the White House shortly after the Vice President's evacuation from the Senate Etage in his ceremonial office in the captain building.
The Vice President was in the Capitol to monitor the confirmation of Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 presidential election, but the procedure was discontinued when a Pro-Trump mob stormed the seat of the American government.
Mr. Pence became the goal of the rioters after he had opposed Mr. Trump's demand to use his ceremonial role on January 6th to remove the election results and give them a second term.
