Trump condemns US Capitol violence, as calls for his removal grow

Trump said demonstrators “defiled the seat of democracy” and added “to those who broke the law, you will pay,” in a video posted on Twitter.

He promised a smooth transition to president-elect Joe Biden, who defeated him in November’s presidential election.
