美国广播公司新闻独家获得的一张新照片显示,1月6日暴徒闯入国会大厦后,时任副总统迈克·彭斯和他的家人躲藏起来,他被从参议院疏散。
美国广播公司新闻在2010年奥运会前夕首次发布了这张照片众议院1月6日委员会听证会周四的焦点是前总统唐纳德·特朗普对彭斯的施压运动。
在照片中,可以看到彭斯和他的家庭成员-第二夫人凯伦·彭斯,他的兄弟,众议员格雷格·彭斯和他的女儿-在副总统的礼仪办公室,距离参议院大楼仅几步之遥。

Photo shows Vice President Mike Pence, family in hiding on Jan. 6: ABC News Exclusive
A new photo obtained exclusively by ABC News shows then-Vice President Mike Pence and his family in hiding after rioters broke into the Capitol on Jan. 6 and he was evacuated from the Senate floor.
ABC News is publishing the image for the first time on the eve of theHouse Jan. 6 committee's hearingThursday focused on former President Donald Trump's pressure campaign against Pence.
In it, Pence can be seen with members of his family -- second lady Karen Pence, his brother, Rep. Greg Pence and his daughter -- in the vice president's ceremonial office just steps from the Senate floor.
Taken just minutes after the mob had breached the Capitol and as Pence and his family were evacuated from chamber by his Secret Service detail, the photo shows Karen Pence hurriedly closing the curtains in the room, as her daughter looks on with fear.
According to a source who was in the room, the second lady could see rioters outside the Capitol, so she closed the curtains, worried that the attackers would see her and her family.
The photo was taken after the mob had already breached the Capitol, some of them chanting "Hang Mike Pence."
This and other photos were taken by the former vice president's official photographer, Myles Cullen, who was with Pence throughout the day and night of Jan. 6.
While they were previously described in "Betrayal: The Final Act of the Trump Show," they have never before been made public.
Minutes later, Pence and his family were rushed downstairs to a loading dock beneath the Capitol complex.
In another White House photo obtained exclusively by ABC News, you can see Pence after he returned to the Capitol with his daughter -- working on the speech he would give when the joint session of Congress reconvened to certify the election of Joe Biden.
As seen in another photo ABC News obtained, Pence returned to the House chamber later that night, to preside as Congress successfully certified Biden's victory.
"Today was a dark day in the history of the United States Capitol. But thanks to the swift efforts of U.S. Capitol Police, federal, state and local law enforcement, the violence was quelled. The Capitol is secured, and the people's work continues," Pence said.
