President Joe Biden has heavily criticised former President Donald Trump on the first anniversary of the attack on the US Capitol.
In a televised speech Mr Biden accused his predecessor of spreading “a web of lies” that led to the mob’s assault.
Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building on 6 January 2021 as Congress gathered to certify Mr Biden’s presidential election victory. The former president had called on protesters to “peacefully” march on Congress but then told them to “fight” or they would not have a country anymore.
Many were injured in the riots including 138 police officers. One rioter was shot and killed by Capitol police.
