The reason thousands of Donald Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building is because senators were meeting to certify the votes of the Electoral College that affirmed Joe Biden as president elect.
Today Biden made a statement saying "it's not a protest, it's insurrection."
He is demanding that President Trump make a televised address to urge his supporters to stop the violence.
Trump asks supporters to leave the US Capitol building
US President Donald Trump has made a video telling violent protesters who support him to leave the US Capitol building, while at the same time repeating that he won the election.
In the video Trump again insists the election was stolen from him by fraud, but "we must have peace."
Trump tells his supporters, "Go home, we love you."
The Pentagon confirms one thousand National Guard members are being mobilized to help support law enforcement after supporters breached the US Capitol.
