At the conclusion of former President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial, the Senate came together to give a standing ovation to Capitol Police officer Eugene Goodman and award him the Congressional Gold Medal for his service during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Goodman was filmed leading the mob away from the open Senate chambers, likely preventing a violent encounter between the pro-Trump extremists and their intended victims, and, in a separate video, alerting Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) to incoming danger and leading him away. Senators also applauded the Capitol Police officers who kept lawmakers safe during the attempted pro-Trump insurrection.
