Federal prosecutors are investigating Trump's role in inciting the deadly Capitol riots

that his office is investigating President Donald Trump's role in inciting a frenzied mob of his supporters to storm the US Capitol.

Wednesday's disruption forced the House and Senate to go into recess and lawmakers, reporters, and Hill staffers to evacuate the building, and resulted in four deaths. When asked if federal prosecutors will examine statements Trump made at a rally before the riots in which he urged his supporters to march to the Capitol and call on lawmakers to overturn the 2020 election, Sherwin replied, "Yes, we are looking at all actors here, not only the people that went into the building, but ... were there others that maybe assisted or facilitated or played some ancillary role in this.

After the Capitol was secured on Wednesday evening, Congress reconvened, finished counting up the electoral votes from the November election, and confirmed that Biden won 306 votes — and the presidency — compared with Trump's 232. Hours after unleashing his supporters on the Capitol and minutes after Congress certified Biden's win, Trump's communications aide Dan Scavino posted a statement from the president on Twitter promising an "orderly transition" on January 20.
