Washington DC, on January 6, 2021, the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., became the epicenter of chaos as a mob of supporters of then-President Donald Trump stormed the premises. This occurred just two months after Trump’s defeat in the 2020 presidential election. The stated intent of the rioters was to prevent Congress from certifying President-elect Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory during a joint session.
