In a Boston Globe article that came out Tuesday night, Rep. Ayanna Pressley’s chief of staff Sarah Groh said that after her staff barricaded themselves inside her office, they discovered their panic buttons had disappeared without explanation.

“Every panic button in my office had been torn out — the whole unit,” Groh said.

Rep. Mikie Sherrill has alleged that the rioters may have actually been aided by sitting members of Congress. In a Facebook Live on Tuesday night, Sherrill said she personally witnessed unnamed members of Congress leading people around the Capitol building the day before the attack, in what she called “a reconnaissance for the next day.”

“I’m going to see they are held accountable and, if necessary, ensure that they don’t serve in Congress,” Sherrill said.

BuzzFeed News has reached out to Reps. Pressley and Sherrill and their staff for more information.
