President Trump has returned to Twitter to condemn the Capitol riots and commit to an "orderly" transition of power.
This comes after Brian Sicknick, an officer at the US Capitol Police (USCP), died after "injured while physically engaging with protesters", the BBC reports.
Trump returned to Twitter on Thursday (January 7) after his account was frozen for 12 hours to issue the closest thing he has written to a formal message of defeat.
Listen to Trump's message below:"Now Congress has certified the results a new administration will be inaugurated on January 20th," he said in a video, without mentioning Biden by name.
"My focus now turns to ensuring a smooth, orderly and seamless transition of power. This moment calls for healing and reconciliation."
Meanwhile, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi urged Vice-President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th amendment, which would declare Trump unfit to remain in office - or begin the process of impeachment.
In the video below, Jimmy Kimmel tears into Trump supporters:Speaker Pelosi and Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer urged Trump's cabinet to remove him for "his incitement of insurrection".
"The President's dangerous and seditious acts necessitate his immediate removal from office," they said in a joint statement cited by the BBC.
The pair called for the enactment of the 25th amendment which enables the Vice President to take up power if the president is unable to carry out their duties as a result of mental or physical illness.
However, the amendment requires Pence and at least eight cabinet members to break with Trump to invoke.
Pelosi implied that if Pence failed to enact the amendment, she would convene the House to begin their second impeachment proceedings against Trump.
However, the Democrats would require a majority of two-thirds in the Senate to remove Trump in this way, and there is no evidence to suggest that such numbers would be obtained, or if there is even enough time to impeach Trump in this way.
As per the BBC, it has been reported that Trump is considering pardoning himself prior to departing office, however, the legality of such a move is unknown.
