The US Congress resumed work after an emergency evacuation as a result of the capture of the Capitol by supporters of Donald Trump. This is reported NBC New York.
Congress has already voted against the attempt to override the will of Arizona voters. This decision was considered on the eve of ego capture by Trump supporters. It is noted that after the capture of the Capitol, this resolution was supported by a part of the Republicans who had avoided it until now.
After that, Congress approved Joseph Biden as the president-elect of the United States.
We remind you that due to yesterday's storming of the Capitol, the meetings of the US Senate and House of Representatives were disrupted by supporters of Donald Trump. On this day, Congress was supposed to approve the results of the presidential election, which, according to official data, was won by Democrat Joe Biden.
At the moment, the Capitol has been cleared of demonstrators.
During the protests in Washington, four people were killed, AP reports with reference to Washington Police Chief Robert Konta. One of the dead is a woman shot by the Capitol Police, a 14-year veteran of the United States Air Force and a staunch supporter of President Trump. In addition to her, three more people died in medical facilities.
