On February 10, 2021, new video was released during the second impeachment trial of Donald Trump, which showed capitol police officer Eugene Goodman saving Senator Romney from running into the Capitol rioters. During a break within the hearing Romney stated, "It was very troubling seeing the great violence the capitol police were subjected to. It tears at your heart and brings tears to your eyes. It was overwhelmingly distressing and emotional". Romney also stated he didn't know how close he was and he didn't know it was Goodman who diverted him away from the rioters but he looks forward to thanking Goodman.
