Protesters struggle with police for a security barricade at the Capitol in Washington, Wednesday, Jan 6, 2020. The Capitol building was placed on lockdown, with senators and members of the House locked inside their chambers, as Congress began debating President-elect Joe Biden’s victory. President Trump addressed supporters near the White House before protesters marched to Capitol Hill. But the tense standoff at the Capitol, and the breach of police lines by Trump supporters, led to the decision, officials said. In the basement “crypt” of the Capitol, hundreds of Trump supporters shouted “U-S-A, U-S-A,” creating a roar in the building.
