0:57Now PlayingThe U.S. Capitol was placed under lockdown and Vice President Mike Pence left the floor of Congress as hundreds of protesters swarmed past barricades surrounding the building where lawmakers were debating Joe Biden’s victory in the Electoral College.
Protesters rallying in support of Donald Trump tried to push past police barriers at the U.S. Capitol after the president said he’d “never concede” his election loss and some congressional employees were initially told to evacuate following bomb threats.
Thousands of people streamed past barricades set up around the Capitol complex on Wednesday afternoon while lawmakers meeting inside debated the Electoral College’s vote giving Biden the presidency.
Loud booms were heard around the legislative building as police in riot gear undertook crowd control measures, including the use of pepper spray.
At the same time, a notice sent to staffers Wednesday at the Cannon House Office Building, across the street from the Capitol, told employees to “move in a safe manner to the exits” and “proceed immediately to your designated assembly area” following the bomb threats. The notice was later retracted.
