Top Republican Mitch McConnell has blamed Donald Trump for the violent rioters who attacked the US Capitol on 6 January, saying 'the mob was fed lies'.

The top Republican in Congress has blamed outgoing US President Donald Trump for the violent mob that attacked the US Capitol this month.

Mr McConnell accused the rioters of"trying to use fear and violence to stop" the certification by Congress of Democrat Joe Biden's election victory.

Once the formal article of impeachment is sent over from the House to to the Senate, the trial can begin, with a two-thirds majority needed to convict.
