Washington - US President Donald Trump has declared a state of emergency in Washington DC ahead of President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration on January 20, the White House said on Monday. The declaration of emergency comes after riots broke out at the US Capitol where pro-Trump supporters wreaked havoc in US Capitol on January 6. At least five people died as a result of the chaos, including a US Capitol Police officer.
"President Donald J Trump declared that an emergency exists in the District of Columbia and ordered Federal assistance to supplement the District's response efforts due to the emergency conditions resulting from the 59th Presidential Inauguration from January 11 to January 24, 2021," a release from the White House read.
