A violent mob of Donald Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 amid the president’s final push for a second term in office despite his election loss by more than 7 million votes.
Intruders, some of them wearing tactical gear and waving Trump flags, broke windows and trashed offices in a chaotic scene that forced Congress to halt its proceeding to formally certify President-elect Joe Biden’s win.
Vice President Mike Pence vowed that “those involved will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” and Biden said the incident wasn’t a protest, it was “insurrection.”
The slow response by police and the relatively few arrests have left observers wondering if the mob would face justice.
