WASHINGTON (AP) The Latest on the fallout of the storming of the Capitol by a mob of pro-Trump loyalists (all times local):
12:40 a.m.
The U.S. Capitol Police says an officer who was injured after responding to riots at the Capitol has died.
Officer Brian D. Sicknick died Thursday due to injuries sustained while on-duty, physically engaging with protesters at the U.S. Capitol, the statement said.
Supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol on Wednesday as Congress was tallying the Electoral College votes to confirm Democrat Joe Biden won the election. Sicknick returned to his division office and collapsed, the report said. He was taken to a hospital and later died.
A combination of the Georgia Senate races, arcane rules of committee procedure, and the political climate are delaying what has been a decades-long tradition of presidents having their national security team in place on Inauguration Day.
