The breach interrupted concurrent debates in the House and Senate over an objection to the counting of a slate of presidential electors from Arizona for former Vice President Joe Biden. Protesters, some of whom were dressed in Trump apparel, entered the building through a broken window, one video posted on social media shows. The building may have been breached in more than one location. Other videos showed protesters carrying American and Trump flags walking through the hall connecting the two chambers of the Capitol. A photograph showed one protester in the presiding officer’s chair in the Senate chamber. …The president said that the election was “fraudulent,” but cautioned supporters to not “play into the hands of these people … we have to have peace.”
