Pro-Trump loyalists stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday and forced lawmakers into hiding, in a stunning attempt to overturn America’s presidential election, undercut the nation’s democracy and keep Democrat Joe Biden from taking office.
D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) said Sunday that she is calling in the National Guard to protect public safety when President Trump’s supporters descend on the District on Wednesday to protest the result of the presidential election.
As President Donald Trump seeks to discredit last week's election with baseless claims of voter fraud, his team has bombarded his supporters with requests for money to help pay for legal challenges to the results.
