Donald Trump has been impeached for a historic second time after he was charged with incitement of insurrection over the deadly siege of Capitol.
Members of the House of Representatives, including at least 10 Republicans, voted to pass the article of impeachment on Wednesday.
Thousands of National Guardsmen have been brought in to help protect Congress, a week after the riots unleashed on the historic US building.
There are currently more than 6,000 National Guard troops in Washington which is more troops than are currently deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
