After violent pro-Trump supporters stormed US Capitol on 6 January, disrupting a Congress meeting to verify Biden's presidential win and clashing with the police – which resulted in the death of five people – the National Guard was deployed to the Capitol a week later as the House gathered to debate Trump's impeachment.
While Democrats were preparing to vote on an article to impeach the outgoing US President Donald Trump for "inciting" the January 6 riots at the Capitol, dozens of National Guard officers gathered inside the government building to protect lawmakers.
