Mike Pence’s Security Detail ‘Called To Say Goodbyes To Family’ As January 6 Riot Got ‘Ugly’

Published

on

The House January 6 Select Committee revealed that members of former Vice President Mike Pence’s Secret Service details made calls to say goodbye to their families during the attack on the Capitol.  A member of the National Security Council Staff, whose identity was hidden, testified about the fear that was going through those defending Pence amid the attacks.

The anonymous security official testified about what was heard on the radio as rioters invaded. “There were a lot of there was a lot of yelling. A lot of very personal calls over the radio so, it was disturbing,” they said. “They were called to say goodbye to family members, so on and so forth.” The official continued, and said that as the attack started to get “ugly,” those with Pence began radioing their calls to their family members.

The ninth hearing detailed what then-President Donald Trump was doing between when insurrectionists invaded the Capitol and when he eventually told them to go home.  The committee held the final hearing before reconvening in September on Thursday, July 21. The hearing came after testimony from insurrectionist Stephen Ayres and former Oath Keepers member Jason van Tatenhove during the previous meeting on Tuesday, July 12. During his testimony, Ayres explained that he was motivated to leave the Capitol after Trump sent out his video message telling rioters to go home.

The hearing was also the first that Chairman Bennie G. Thompson, the Democratic Congressman from Mississippi, was not able to attend after testing positive for COVID-19. The committee tweeted that he asked them to continue with the hearing as planned. “While Chairman Thompson is disappointed with his COVID diagnosis, he has instructed the Select Committee to proceed with Thursday evening’s hearing,” they wrote.

The most recent hearing was reported to cover what Trump was doing as the riot was unfolding, and his supporters stormed the Capitol building. Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, shed some light on what Trump was doing throughout the day, during her testimony in an earlier hearing. She’d revealed that he’d asked Secret Service to get rid of metal detectors and allow his supporters with weapons onto the ellipse for his speech. She also said that after his speech he’d tried to force his driver to take him to the Capitol as the insurrectionists invaded. She said that he’d become enraged, lunging at the steering wheel, as the driver refused. “The President said something to the effect of ‘I’m the F-ing president. Take me up to the Capitol now,’” she said.

A number of former Trump aides and officials have come forward to say that they’d advised against spreading lies that there’d been fraud in the election, including former Attorney General William Barr, who said that he’d regularly informed Trump that he saw no sign of corruption, during a pre-recorded interview. “I told them that it was crazy stuff and they were wasting their time on that and [it] was doing a great, grave disservice to the country,” he said.

  • Jimmy Fallon is an award-winning television host who has led ‘The Tonight Show’ since 2014
  • Jimmy has two daughters with his wife, Nancy
  • Both their daughters were born via surrogate and have turned into curious young kids

Jimmy Fallon is a father by day and an Emmy Award-winning television host by night. The Tonight Show host became a father for the first time when his daughter, Winnie, was born in 2013. Her little sister, Frances, made her debut the following year. Jimmy, 48, shares both his girls with his wife, Nancy Juvonen, to whom he’s been married since 2007.

Frances and Winnie appear on Jimmy’s social media pages routinely and often made cameos on The Tonight Show while it was filmed at their home amid the coronavirus pandemic. “I really bonded with my daughters during that time because I was never normally home that long,” he recalled to PEOPLE in April 2021 of the “bizarre” time. “Usually I’m at work, so I got to really wake up and go to bed with them every single night for months. I think there was a real bond there that we’ll never forget.”

Read on to learn everything there is to know about Jimmy Fallon’s daughters, Frances and Winnie.

Winnie Rose Fallon

Winnie Rose Fallon was born on July 23, 2013 via surrogacy. Her arrival was a surprise to most people, including many of Jimmy’s co-workers.  “My wife and I had been trying a while to have a baby,” he told TODAY‘s  Savannah Guthrie in Aug. 2013. “We tried a bunch of things — so we had a surrogate.” He added, “We said, ‘We’re not going to tell anybody. It’d be just more fun if it’s just private between me and my wife. And then we get to introduce her to everybody.”

Now that Winnie is getting older, she’s grown into a curious child with various interests. In a 2021 Instagram post, Jimmy shared an image of her standing proudly with her drawing of a dog and said she requested that he share her art for all to see. “My daughters have discovered @clairesstores and they came home with some stuffed animals. Winnie drew a picture of one today and thought I should put it on the internet so that kids (or whoever, really!) can print it & color it for free,” he wrote. “Here ya go – third slide. Enjoy!” How sweet.

Winnie also loves animals, and in 2018, Jimmy revealed she had an animal-themed birthday party. “Winnie just turned five, which is a big deal to have a five-year-old in the house,” he told E! News. “I think this is the first birthday that she’s gonna remember, because when you throw these parties you’re like, ‘She’ll never remember this.’”

“We had a petting zoo … I mean we went for it, dude,” he continued. “I never had a birthday party like this. I would have like three friends and we’d go to McDonald’s and that was it. That was a big party for me, man. So this was like, she better remember this.”

Frances Cole Fallon

Frances Cole made her entrance into the world on Dec. 3, 2014. “Frances Cole Fallon officially entered the world at 8:45 a.m. on Dec. 3, weighing 5 lbs., 11 oz. and is 18.5 inches long,” a statement from Jimmy’s representative given to PEOPLE read. “Their new addition joins big sister, Winnie Rose, 16 months. The couple opted to keep their baby joy to themselves until their new daughter made her official debut. Both Fallon babies were born via surrogate.”

After taking a few days off from The Tonight Show to enjoy some family time, Jimmy came back bursting with pride and even showed a pic of his newborn daughter on the show. “That’s just a cute little baby, right?” he gushed. “I just want to say it’s just a big deal for us and I just want to thank everyone, the nurses and the doctors and our surrogate, who had our baby. There are angels in Dallas, Texas.”

France seems to enjoy partaking in activities with her older sister. In Jan. 22, Frances, Winnie, and their mom looked like they had the best snow day ever in matching retro-style snowsuits. And before that, Frances joined Winnie alongside their father to try what is supposedly the best crumb cake in the world.

It also appears that both kids don’t shy away from the camera. They starred alongside their father and mother in a Frito-Lay’s campaign that aired during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2021. Although they were happy to do the job, the comedian and writer admitted he wasn’t sure if he wanted his girls to be in the spotlight like that.

“I go, ‘I don’t know, man.’ Not about them getting [in] the business, but I don’t know if they’re good actors,” he told PEOPLE before the commercial debuted. “They’re not actor kids. I don’t know if they’re going to be good, this might waste everyone’s time.”

He decided to ask Nancy, who was excited about the possibility — and even signed herself up for the job, too. “And she was like, ‘I think you gotta, the kids are cute. If the kids are doing it, I’m going to do it too, so let’s just do it as a family,’” he recalled of their conversation. “It turned out to be great. They were good actors. My girls got a good laugh.”

When a paparazzi asked the blonde beauty if Raquel has “called to apologize“, Ariana responded with, “I don’t know who you’re talking about.”

To add fuel to the fire, Ariana was also asked how she felt about the upcoming reunion episode. She made it clear that it’s not an event she is excited about. “What do you think?”, she asked the camera person on Mar. 21. During the outing, the 37-year-old TV personality rocked a casual, yet chic, ensemble. Ariana opted for a pair of black leggings, an oversized black crewneck sweater, and black athletic sneakers. She accessorized her look with an on-trend small white purse and oversized sunglasses. She also tied her blonde tressed up in a messy updo for the afternoon outing.

Ariana’s outing comes one day after the midseason trailer for the hit reality show premiered. The trailer was released amid the ongoing “Scandoval” regarding Tom and Ariana’s breakup due to his affair with Raquel. Not only did Tom’s now-ex tell him she wants him to “die” in the clip, but she was also spotted skinny dipping with her friend, Brett Kenyon, who revealed his identity via TikTok on Tuesday.

Since Mar. 3, practically the entire Bravo TV fan base has been keeping tabs on the ongoing drama between these three. Not only was it revealed that Tom and Raquel had been having an affair for “months”, but it also took place during filming the show’s latest season. The rumors about their affair also began in the summer of 2022, however, Ariana did not become aware until just days prior to their public split. Season 10 of the hit show is currently airing on Bravo, with executive producer, Andy Cohen, confirming it will be a part of this season.

Not only has a plethora of the cast reacted to the split, including Kristen Doute, 40, Lala Kent, 32, James Kennedy, 31, and Katie Maloney, 36, to name a few, but Ariana also broke her silence on Mar. 16. “hi. where to begin? i want to express my most sincere gratitude for the outpouring of love and support i have received from friends, family, and people i’ve never even met in the last two weeks. when i have felt like i couldn’t even stand, you all have given me the strength to continue and seen me through my darkest hours,” her caption began.

“to say i have been devastated and broken is an understatement. however, i know that i am not in this alone. so many of my closest friends are also grieving this loss right now and reeling from this betrayal on so many levels. i am so f****** lucky to have the best support system in the world and i hope i can repay every single person for the love you have shown me. what doesn’t kill me better run,” Ariana concluded. As many know, Tom and Ariana dated for nine years, as they made their romance Instagram official in Feb. 2014. The next episode of Vanderpump Rules is set to air on Bravo on Mar. 22.
