President Donald Trump has urged his supporters to “go home”, but is also keeping up claims that the results of the November election were fraudulent.

He posted a video message to Twitter more than two hours after protesters began storming the Capitol as politicians convened for an extraordinary joint session to confirm the Electoral College results and President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.
