ROANOKE, Va – Several agencies are looking for suspects from the riots at the United States Capitol building on Wednesday. Rick Morrison spent 30 years working in law enforcement and now educates best practices in policing. While he wasn’t in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, he said it’s not likely that Capitol Police were uninformed on the scale of the event. Virginia Sen. Mark Warner said he was assured that law enforcement could handle the situation and the ultimate response was an embarrassment. Morrison said incriminating evidence over social media will likely lead to more arrests down the line.

(Alyssa Pointer/Atlanta Journal-Constitution via AP, Pool)Former President George W. Bush issued a statement Wednesday evening about the events that unraveled at the US Capitol earlier in the day. Bush said he was appalled by the reckless behavior of some political leaders as well as the lack of respect shown nowadays for the country’s institutions, traditions and law enforcement. In the United States of America, it is the fundamental responsibility to every patriotic citizen to support the rule of law. To those who are disappointed in the results of the election: Our country is more important than the politics of the moment.

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump released an official statement via Twitter video about the protests led by his supporters at the US Capitol. UPDATE: Twitter has since deleted this tweet by President Trump, saying "This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules." His account will also be “locked for 12 hours following the removal of these Tweets. I know how you feel, but go home and go home at peace,” he said at the end of the video. Trump’s statement came minutes after Joe Biden spoke from Wilmington, Delaware about the situation.

Authorities said four people died during the violence, including one woman who was shot by an officer outside the House chamber. Trump only reluctantly issued the tweets and taped a video encouraging an end to the violence. Stephanie Grisham, first lady Melania Trump's chief of staff and a former White House press secretary, submitted her resignation. Deputy national security adviser Matt Pottinger, White House social secretary Rickie Niceta and deputy press secretary Sarah Matthews also resigned, according to officials. At one point, he even suggested he might join them — a prospect that was discussed by the White House but eventually abandoned.

(AP Photo/Andrew Harnik)WASHINGTON – Vice President Mike Pence defied President Donald Trump early Thursday morning as he affirmed President-elect Joe Biden’s November victory, putting an end to Trump’s futile efforts to subvert American democracy and overturn the results of the election. Pence acknowledged that reality in a lengthy statement Wednesday laying out his conclusion that a vice president cannot claim “unilateral authority” to reject states' electoral votes. Pence's move was an expected outcome, but one that carved a dramatic fissure between Trump and Pence, his once most loyal lieutenant. “If Mike Pence does the right thing we win the election,” Trump wrongly told supporters, who later marched through Washington and stormed the Capitol. He repeatedly returned to Pence throughout his speech, voicing frustration as he tried to pressure the vice president to fall in line.
