US President Donald Trump’s relentless efforts to reverse the results of the 2020 election took a dangerous turn on Jan 6, when an armed and angry mob of his supporters stormed Capitol Hill and clashed with police just as Congress convened to validate Joe Biden’s presidential win.
The pandemonium appears to have deepened the divide within the Republican Party, with several leaders pointing a finger at Trump for inciting violence by urging his supporters to reject the results of the presidential election.
Top American lawmakers have now sought to hold Trump, the outgoing president, accountable for storming of the Capitol Hill by his supporters.
