Friday marks the two year anniversary of the infamous Jan. 6 attack where pro-Trump supporters evaded the U.S. Capitol, ransacking the building and forcing Congress to seek safety.
It took around four hours to secure the building so Congress could certify President Biden’s election win.
Several people died as a result of the insurrection, including protestors like Ashli Babbitt—who was shot and killed by police when she tried to break into a protected area—and Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick.
An investigation was launched by a House select committee to look into the attack—the investigation ended in December 2022 and the committee has since been disbanded.
The committee’s final report accuses Trump of inciting the riots in response to the 2020 presidential election and encouraging rioters to “overturn” the vote, the report also recommends Trump be barred from political office in the future, and recommends the Department of Justice pursue criminal charges of Trump because of his involvement.
