Trump supporters storm the Capitol Building. Four people died in the yard of the building. 52 people were arrested in connection with the riot.

The attack was instigated by Trump, who asked his supporters to intervene in the process of ratifying the election vote count won by Republican candidate Joe Biden. Of the 52 people, 47 were detained in connection with curfew violations. Meanwhile, 26 others were arrested in the courtyard of the Capitol Building.

In a press conference after the incident, the Head of the Metropolitan Police Department Robert J. Contee explained that several people were also arrested for carrying unauthorized firearms. Among all those killed, one Trump supporter was said to have been shot. Contee declined to specify the woman's identity.

Apart from arresting the rioters, the police managed to secure two pipe bombs from the offices of the bipartisan national committee of Republicans and Democrats. In addition there is a cooler in a vehicle in the yard of the building. The container contains Molotov cocktails.

Because of this incident, Trump threatened to face a second impeachment, after hundreds of his supporters rioted and damaged the Capitol Hill Building when the US Congress discussed the results of the US Presidential Election which was won by Joe Biden.

Launching Reuters Friday January 8, US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schrumer asked US Vice President Mike Pence and the Cabinet to use the US Constitution to "overthrow" Trump because of "incitement" that made his supporters riot.

The Speaker of the US House of Representatives who is also a Democrat Nancy Pelosi has indicated that she will gather members of the US House of Representatives to start the impeachment process against Trump. Meanwhile, the Chair of the US House of Representatives Judiciary Committee Jerry Nadler, who is authorized to draft the impeachment article, has stated his support for this idea.
