In full: Donald Trump supporters storm Capitol
House and Senate are in recess after Donald Trump supporters breached the Capitol building.
It came after Vice President Mike Pence has said that he will not intervene to stop the certification by Congress of Democrat Joe Biden’s election victory, in defiance of Donald Trump.
The statement was released as Trump urged Pence to decline to certify the Electoral College results.
In Congress, Republican lawmakers objected to certifying Arizona’s electors, forcing a debate on the baseless fraud claims.
