On January 6, Wednesday, supporters of the outgoing United States President Donald Trump stormed the US Capitol Building in Washington DC.The violent demonstrations took place on the same day when the US Congress was conducting the formal counting of electoral votes to certify the victory of president-elect Joe Biden. However, the session was recessed as rioters breached the security detail to enter the Capitol Building.Police officials have now cleared the area and imposed a curfew. They have reported the recovery of incendiary devices at the site which had been left by the rioters.The electoral vote count process was resumed later after which president-elect Joe Biden was formally recognised as the President of the United States of America.
