The first round of President Donald Trump's supporters who stormed the US Capitol in a brazen attack on the seat of government were due in court to face charges

In a late-night news conference, Metropolitan Police Department Chief Robert Contee said 47 of the 52 arrests to date were related to violations of Mayor Muriel Bowser's 6pm curfew, with 26 of those involving people arrested on U.S. Capitol grounds.It was not immediately clear how many people would be arraigned on Thursday.

Three other people also died on Wednesday because of medical emergencies, he added, and 14 police officers were injured - two of whom remained hospitalized. In that incident, baton-swinging police and federal agents fired smoke canisters, flash-bang grenades and rubber bullets to drive protesters farther from the White House, enabling Trump to walk across Lafayette Square and hold up a Bible in front of historic St. John’s Church.
