we will now have a recess and resume at 6:15. the senate will stand in recess. majority leader schumer, alaska senator murkowski and senator cassidy of louisiana spoke to reporters during the break on what they've seen so far during the house manager's presentation.

i'm going to give a brief statement. first, we are on break for dinner. i don't think many of us feel like eating dinner. it was gut wrenching the bravery of the police officers was incredible. it was compelling, and i hope that our republican colleagues having an open mind as they see what we've seen today. the managers made an overwhelmingly compelling case as far as i am concerned. as for me and my situation, i just want to give tremendous credit to the capitol police officers who were in my detail like the rest of the capitol police officers, they were utterly amazing and great and we love them. that's it.
