Thousands of supporters of US president Donald Trump have rallied behind his spurious claim of a stolen election and swarmed his motorcade in Washington DC when he detoured for a drive-by on his way out of the city.

The “Million Maga March” took place along Washington DC’s Pennsylvania Avenue from Freedom Plaza, near the White House.
