Jan. 6 updates: Biden tears into Trump for inciting Capitol attack

In an interview with ABC News Live on Thursday, Maryland Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin reflected on the whirlwind period between the death of his 25-year-old son and Trump's second impeachment trial following the attack.

Raskin's son, Tommy Raskin, died by suicide on New Year's Eve 2020. The day after his son was buried, Raskin was on Capitol Hill when Trump supporters stormed the Capitol.

"The day after we buried Tommy in a small family COVID-19 graveside service, we had the violent insurrection at the Capitol and the attempt to overthrow the 2020 presidential election by Donald Trump," said Raskin, who wrote about the experience in his new book, "Unthinkable: Trauma, Truth, and the Trials of American Democracy."

"I felt like I had an obligation to do it, that Tommy would be completely with me the whole way," Raskin said. "And this was a chance to try to stand up and articulate, not just my love, but our family's love, of our Constitution and our freedom and our democracy and the idea of human rights -- the opposite of everything that was on display on Jan. 6."

Raskin is a member of the Jan. 6 House select committee tasked with investigating the attack. To date, the committee has issued at least 50 subpoenas to individuals for information, according to an ABC News count, with at least 19 of those being Trump administration officials. It has conducted more than 300 depositions.

Five people died during or after the riot, including four protesters and one law enforcement officer. Separately, four officers who responded to the riot have died by suicide.

Approximately 140 police officers were injured the day at the Capitol including about 80 U.S. Capitol Police and about 60 from the Metropolitan Police Department, according to the Justice Department. Lawmakers on Thursday praised the group for holding the line and protecting the Capitol from even more bloodshed last year.

Approximately $1.5 million in damage was done to the Capitol building, according to federal prosecutors.

"Well over 10,000" people came onto the Capitol grounds last year, according to Capitol Police, and at least 2,000 people actually entered the building. At least 706 individuals have been charged with crimes, according to an ABC News count, and approximately 150 individuals have pleaded guilty to misdemeanors.

Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who was injured while confronting the mob during the insurrection, suffered multiple strokes hours after serving on the front lines and died, was recognized several times by lawmakers on Thursday.

While leading members of Congress in sharing their reflections, Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., called attention to Sicknick’s parents who were present in the caucus room, asking them to stand and be recognized. 

"For those of you joining us at home, Brian Sicknick was an officer who gave his life on Jan. 6, 2021, in defense of this Capitol and in defense of many of us," Crow said. 

"We sit in here and owe your family a debt of gratitude that we can never repay," Crow told his parents. "We will be there for you and your family going forward, and you are now a part of our family as well."

In a large House caucus room, Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo. -- a decorated Iraq and Afghanistan War veteran who helped barricade the House chamber on Jan. 6 and defend the lives of his colleagues -- led members in sharing their reflections on the insurrection.

Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Mich., argued the importance of agreeing about the truth of that day and pulled out a piece of glass he said he picked up from a broken window in the Capitol in the aftermath of Jan. 6 that he carries in his pocket each day.

"Truth is clear as this shard of broken glass that I have carried with me the last 365 days… as a reminder -- a constant reminder -- in my pocket of the brutality of that day," he said. "Only truth and accountability will give us the opportunity to find a path toward reconciliation. Only truth will begin to thaw the bitterness that characterizes our current divisions."

Rep. Val Demings, D-Fla., who is running against Republican Sen. Marco Rubio for Senate, called out lawmakers who have whitewashed the day and "forgotten their oath," she said, "overshadowed by their quest for power and their pathetic fear of election officials counting every vote."

"Many people call themselves patriots. But true patriots don't lie. They don't steal. They don't cheat," she said, taking the chance to thank law enforcement officers as the former police chief in Orlando. "But out of the ashes, good things can rise."
