Since the November presidential election, Trump had constantly attacked the integrity of the election results. 

He had rallied his supporters outside the White House on Wednesday morning, urging them to march to the Capitol. 

However, hours after the marchers had violently confronted the police and breached the building, the president released a video calling on them to “go home in peace.”

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson via Twitter condemned the “disgraceful scenes in U.S. Congress. 

"The United States stands for democracy around the world and it is now vital that there should be a peaceful and orderly transfer of power,” he wrote.
