Capitol police officer Goodman receives standing ovation in Senate

Goodman received a standing ovation from Senators for his actions.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said on the Senate floor, "Here in this trial we saw new video, powerful video showing calmness under pressure. His courage in the line of duty, his foresight in the midst of chaos, his willingness to make himself a target of the mobs rage so that others might reach safety."

Goodman steered rioters away from lawmakers as a pro-Trump mob rampaged through the Capitol while Congress gathered to formally certify President Joe Biden's election victory. In video shown during the trial, Goodman was seen directing Senator Mitt Romney out of harm's way.
