2021 United States Capitol attack
On January 6, 2021, a mob of supporters of President Donald Trump attacked the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C.[note 1][28] They sought to overturn his defeat in the 2020 presidential election[29] by disrupting the joint session of Congress assembled to count electoral votes that would formalize President-elect Joe Biden's victory.[3][30] The Capitol Complex was locked down and lawmakers and staff were evacuated, while rioters assaulted law enforcement officers, vandalized property and occupied the building for several hours.[31] Five people died either shortly before, during, or following the event: one was shot by Capitol Police, another died of a drug overdose, and three died of natural causes.[19][32] Many people were injured, including 138 police officers. Four officers who responded to the attack died by suicide within seven months.[33]
Called to action by Trump,[34][35] thousands of his supporters gathered in Washington, D.C., on January 5 and 6 to support his false claim that the 2020 election had been "stolen by emboldened radical-left Democrats"[36][37][38][39] and to demand that Vice President Mike Pence and Congress reject Biden's victory.[40] Starting at noon on January 6,[41] at a "Save America" rally on the Ellipse, Trump repeated false claims of election irregularities[42] and said, "If you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country any more".[43][44][45] During and after his speech,[41] thousands of attendees walked to the Capitol and hundreds breached police perimeters[46][47] as Congress was beginning the electoral vote count. Many in the crowd broke into the building,[48][49] occupying, vandalizing, and looting it,[31][50] assaulting Capitol Police officers and reporters, and attempting to locate lawmakers to capture and harm.[51] Gallows had been erected west of the Capitol and some rioters chanted "Hang Mike Pence" after he rejected false claims by Trump and others that the vice president could overturn the election results.[52] Some vandalized and looted the offices of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D‑CA) and other members of Congress.[53][54][55] With building security breached, Capitol Police evacuated and locked down both chambers of Congress and several buildings in the Capitol Complex.[56] Rioters occupied the empty Senate chamber while federal law enforcement officers defended the evacuated House floor.[57][58] Pipe bombs were found at each of the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee headquarters, and Molotov cocktails were discovered in a vehicle near the Capitol.[59][60]
Trump resisted sending the National Guard to quell the mob.[61] Later that afternoon, in a Twitter video, he reasserted that the election was "fraudulent", but told his supporters to "go home in peace".[62][63] The Capitol was clear of rioters by mid-evening,[1] and the counting of the electoral votes resumed and completed in the early morning hours of January 7. Pence declared President-elect Biden and Vice-President-elect Kamala Harris victorious. Pressured by his administration, the threat of removal, and many resignations, Trump later committed to an orderly transition of power in a televised statement.[64][65] A week after the riot, the House of Representatives impeached Trump for incitement of insurrection, making him the only U.S. president to have been impeached twice.[66] In February, after Trump had left office, the Senate acquitted him in a 57-to-43 vote in favor of conviction, which fell short of a two-thirds majority (requiring 67 votes).[67] The House passed a bill to create a bipartisan independent commission to investigate the attack, modeled after the 9/11 Commission,[68] but it was blocked by Republicans in the Senate,[51] so the House approved a House select committee with seven Democrats and two Republicans to investigate instead.[69][70]
Dozens of people present in Washington, D.C. on the day, including some who took part in the riot, were found to be listed in the FBI's Terrorist Screening Database, most as suspected white supremacists.[71] Over 30 members of anti-government groups, including the Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, and Three Percenters, were charged with conspiracy for allegedly planning their attacks on the Capitol, but the vast majority of the 719 people charged with crimes relating to the riot had no known affiliation with far-right groups, and did not plan the riot in advance.[72][73][74][75][27]

2021年美國國會大廈遭衝擊事件
2021年美國國會大廈遭衝擊事件（英語：2021 Storming of United States Capitol）是指2021年1月6日，時任美國總統唐納·川普的支持者暴力闖入美國國會大廈的騷亂事件。當天，一大批示威者在川普的號召下衝進了美國國會大廈，擾亂正在進行計票及認證2020年美國總統選舉結果以宣告喬·拜登正式獲勝的美國國會聯席會議[3][37]。國會大廈建築群被封鎖，其中的立法者和工作人員被緊急疏散，之後被騷亂人群占領並破壞長達數個小時。一系列的衝突導致5人死亡，超過140人受傷[38]。
在此前多番嘗試推翻選舉結果無果後，1月5日至6日，唐納·川普的支持者曾多次聚集在華盛頓特區抗議2020年的總統選舉結果[39][40]，支持川普關於大選結果被竊的錯誤宣稱[41]，並要求兼任參議院議長的副總統麥克·彭斯和國會拒絕認可喬·拜登當選第46任美國總統[42][43][44]。1月6日上午，示威者聚集在橢圓形草坪上參加一場由時任總統川普、其兒子小唐納·川普和其律師魯迪·朱利安尼主持名為「拯救美國」的集會。示威活動最終演變為騷亂。川普在演講中激勵他的支持者「要激烈的戰鬥」、「奪回我們的國家」並指示支持者向美國國會大廈行進，試圖推翻2020年大選結果。[45][46]隨後，數以千計支持川普的示威者向國會行進，並最終衝進了國會大廈。[47]當時國會正在開會統計選舉人團選票，正就德克薩斯州參議員泰德·克魯茲和亞利桑那州第四國會選區眾議員保羅·戈薩拉反對統計亞利桑那州選舉人團選票進行辯論。[48][49]示威者衝破安保人員的防線進入國會大廈，國會大廈建築群被迫疏散，隨後即全部封鎖[50]。在隨後的衝突中，一名女性因試圖闖入眾議院會場而遭執法人員槍擊身亡。[51][52][53]一名國會警察警員因被騷亂者用滅火器攻擊而身亡。[54][55]當天另外有三人因緊急醫療情況身亡。警方發現了三個簡易爆炸裝置：一個在國會大廈內，另外在國會大廈附近的共和黨全國委員會和民主黨全國委員會辦公室各發現了一個。[56][57]在國會大廈外的一輛汽車上還發現了燃燒瓶[58][59]。
1月6日下午，川普譴責其副手彭斯「沒有為保護我們的國家和憲法做應做的事情」[注 1]，儘管彭斯在憲法上沒有權利可以不承認拜登的勝利。[61][62][63]下午4點22分，川普在推特上敦促他的支持者「和平地回家」，同時將騷亂者描述為「非常特別的人」，稱他「愛」他們[注 2]，並重申他對選舉舞弊的虛假指控。[65]其後他再在推特發文呼籲示威者保持和平，不要使用暴力。[注 3]
國會大廈遭到衝擊這一事件很快便成為了全世界的焦點並受到美國國內和國際上政治領導人和組織的廣泛譴責。時任參議院多數黨領袖的密契·麥康諾將這一事件稱為「失敗的叛亂」（failed insurrection）[66]，並且稱參議院「不會屈服於無法無天或恐嚇」（will not bow to lawlessness or intimidation）[67]。多家社群媒體及科技公司封鎖了川普的社交帳戶[68][69]。推特對川普的推特帳號進行了長達12小時的鎖定，並刪除了他的三條推文，原因是他發帖公開縱容暴力衝擊國會的支持者，違反了推特政策，其後更進一步永久鎖定了他的推特帳號。[70][71][72]Facebook和Instagram亦跟隨推特以煽動暴力為由臨時封鎖川普的帳戶[73]，YouTube則隱藏了多條川普發布懷疑煽動暴力的影片[74]。騷亂一周之後，美國眾議院以川普煽動叛亂第二次彈劾他，使他成為了美國歷史上第一位被彈劾兩次的總統[75]。眾議院隨後通過了一項法案要求仿照911委員會的模式建立一個兩黨獨立委員會來調查衝擊事件[76]，但該法案在參議院被共和黨人阻擊[77]。佩洛西隨後提議，並被眾議院所批准，成立眾議院特別委員會來調查襲擊事件[78]。時任聯邦調查局局長的克里斯多夫·雷將衝擊事件列為國內恐怖主義事件[79]。輿論調查顯示，大多數美國人不贊成衝擊國會大廈，也不贊成川普在衝擊前後的行為，儘管一些共和黨人支持這次衝擊或至少沒有指責川普[80]。
事後清查衝擊事件中，美國聯邦調查局（FBI）使用了超過400個案宗，並行出了500多張陪審團傳喚票和搜查令[81]。大量在場示威人員被列入恐怖分子篩查資料庫，其中大多數人被懷疑是白人優越主義者[82]。反政府組織誓言守護者及驕傲男孩的成員因涉嫌在國會大廈前進行有計劃的任務而被起訴[83][84][85][86]。截止2021年11月中旬，已有至少691人因在衝擊事件中進行聯邦犯罪被起訴[34][35]。
