Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser ordered a citywide curfew starting at 6:00pm (2300 GMT).<\/p>\n<p>National Guard troops, FBI agents and US Secret Service were deployed to help overwhelmed Capitol police. Guard troops and police pushed protesters away from the Capitol after the curfew took effect.<\/p>\n<p>It was the most damaging attack on the iconic building since the British army burned it in 1814, according to the US Capitol Historical Society.<\/p>\n<p>The assault on the Capitol was the culmination of months of divisive and escalating rhetoric around the November 3 election, with Trump repeatedly making false claims that the vote was rigged and urging his supporters to help him overturn his loss.<\/p>\n<p>The chaos unfolded after Trump &#8211; who before the election refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he lost &#8211; addressed thousands of supporters near the White House and told them to march on the Capitol to express their anger at the voting process.<\/p>\n<p>He told his supporters to pressure their elected officials to reject the results, urging them \u201cto fight.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Back to business<\/h2>\n<p>Hours later, both houses of Congress resumed their work on certifying Biden\u2019s Electoral College win, with debate stretching into the early hours of Thursday. It quickly became clear that objections from pro-Trump Republican lawmakers to Biden\u2019s victory in battleground states would be rejected overwhelmingly, including by most Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo those who wreaked havoc in our Capitol today &#8211; you did not win,\u201d Vice President Mike Pence, who presided over the session, said as it resumed. \u201cLet\u2019s get back to work,\u201d he said, drawing applause.<\/p>\n<p>Biden, a Democrat who defeated the Republican president in the November election and is due to take office on January 20, said the activity of the protesters \u201cborders on sedition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Senate rejected by a 93-6 vote Republican objections to the certification of Biden\u2019s victory in the battleground state of Arizona, ensuring their defeat. The House of Representatives, controlled by Democrats, also rejected the move by a 303-121 vote.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate also rejected an objection to the certification in Pennsylvania on a 92-7 vote.<\/p>\n<h2>&#8220;Reckless behaviour&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>The shock of the assault on the Capitol seemed to soften the resolve of some Republicans who had supported Trump\u2019s efforts to convince Americans of his baseless claims of fraud.<\/p>\n<p>Trump came under intensive fire from some prominent Republicans in Congress, who put the blame for the day\u2019s violence squarely on his shoulders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no question that the President formed the mob, the President incited the mob, the President addressed the mob. He lit the flame,\u201d House Republican Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney said on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Republican Senator Tom Cotton, a leading conservative from Arkansas, called on Trump to accept his election loss and \u201cquit misleading the American people and repudiate mob violence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A source familiar with the situation said there have been discussions among some Cabinet members and Trump allies about invoking the 25th Amendment, which would allow a majority of the Cabinet to declare Trump unable to perform his duties, making Pence the acting president. A second source familiar with the effort doubted it would go anywhere with Trump having just two more weeks in office.<\/p>\n<p>Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, who had remained silent while Trump has sought to overturn the election result, called the invasion a \u201cfailed insurrection\u201d and promised that \u201cwe will not bow to lawlessness or intimidation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are back in our posts. We will discharge our duty under the Constitution, and for our nation. And we are going to do it tonight,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, one of Trump\u2019s staunchest allies in Congress, rejected an effort by his fellow Republicans to object to election results in hopes of setting up a commission to investigate Trump\u2019s unsubstantiated allegations of election fraud.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll I can say is count me out. Enough is enough,\u201d Graham said on the floor of the Senate. \u201cJoe Biden and Kamala Harris are lawfully elected and will become the president and the vice president of the United States on January 20.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Trump repeats false claims<\/h2>\n<p>In a video posted to Twitter while the rioters roamed the Capitol, Trump repeated his false claims about election fraud but urged the protesters to leave. \u201cYou have to go home now, we have to have peace,\u201d he said, adding: \u201cWe love you. You\u2019re very special.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Twitter Inc later restricted users from retweeting Trump\u2019s video, and Facebook Inc took it down entirely, citing the risk of violence. Twitter said later it had locked the account of Trump for 12 hours over \u201crepeated and severe violations\u201d of the social media platform\u2019s \u201ccivic integrity\u201d rules and threatened permanent suspension.<\/p>\n<p>Election officials of both parties and independent observers have said there was no significant fraud in the November 3 contest, in which Biden won 7 million more votes than Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Weeks have passed since the states completed certifying that Biden won in the Electoral College, which decides presidential elections, by a 306-232 vote. Trump\u2019s challenges to Biden\u2019s victory have been rejected by courts across the country.<\/p>\n<p>Trump had pressed Pence to throw out election results in states the president narrowly lost, although Pence has no authority to do so. Pence said in a statement he could not accept or reject electoral votes unilaterally.<\/p>\n<p>The mayhem stunned world leaders. \u201cTrump and his supporters must accept the decision of American voters at last and stop trampling on democracy,\u201d German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the gravest assault on the symbol of American
