The protesters had left a rally featuring President Donald Trump, who reiterated his claim that the 2020 election had been "stolen."
The protesters then marched on the Capitol as Congress convened to certify the Electoral College vote, which would cement President-Elect Joe Biden’s victory.
Since then, the FBI says it has made more than 100 arrests in connection with the assault on Capitol Hill – and that it expect that number to increase exponentially.
