Several US officials have called for President Donald Trump’s removal after his supporters stormed the US Capitol on Wednesday while Congress was certifying the 2020 presidential election results.
Five people died, including a US Capitol police officer, and multiple Trump administration members have resigned as a result.
President-elect Joe Biden’s win was eventually certified after the Capitol was secured on Thursday. Mr Trump acknowledged his loss and said there will be a peaceful transition of power on January 20. Follow the latest updates below

What is graphene?
Graphene is extracted from graphite and is made up of pure carbon.
It is 200 times more resistant than steel and five times lighter than aluminum.
It conducts electricity better than any other material at room temperature.
It is thought that graphene could boost the useful life of batteries by 10 per cent.
Graphene can also detect cancer cells in the early stages of the disease.
The material was first discovered when Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov were 'playing' with graphite at the University of Manchester in 2004.
