US President Donald Trump says rioters who stormed Capitol will be ‘brought to justice’

US President Donald Trump has said those who engaged in last week’s violent occupation of the Capitol will be “brought to justice”.

In a video message in which he stopped short of addressing his impeachment, Mr Trump said that “no true supporter” of his could condone political violence.

“The incursion of the US Capitol struck at the very heart of our republic. It angered and appalled millions of Americans across the political spectrum,” he said.

“I want to be very clear: I unequivocally condemn the violence that we saw last week. Violence and vandalism have absolutely no place in our country and no place in our movement.”

More to come.
