Washington: A mob of pro-Trump protester storm the US Capitol and clashed with the police. Trump supporters on Wednesday breached the Capitol while a woman was shot dead when a protest spiraled out of control. The rioting took place after Trump told protestors to repeat his false claim that he won the US election in November. Several lawmakers slammed Trump for inciting violence, with some calling for his immediate impeachment and removal. 

Former US President Barack Obama on Wednesday lashed out at Republican President Donald Trump. He said that history would remember the attack on US Capitol incited by a sitting president who has continued to baselessly lie about the outcome of a lawful election, as a moment of great dishonour and shame for our nation"

In a statement, he said, "For two months now, a political party and its accompanying media ecosystem has too often been unwilling to tell their followers the truth - that this was not a particularly close election and that President-Elect Biden will be inaugurated on January 20. Their fantasy narrative has spiraled further and further from reality, and it builds upon years of sown resentments. Now, we're seeing the consequences, whipped up into a violent crescendo."
