The following was generated by Gemini on Jan 11, 2026 about the Jan 6,2021 insurrection:

On January 6, 2021, a mob of supporters of then-President Donald Trump attacked the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. The primary goal of the attack was to disrupt the joint session of Congress assembled to certify the Electoral College results of the 2020 presidential election, which had declared Joe Biden the winner.
The events are widely regarded as one of the most significant attacks on the seat of the American legislative branch in U.S. history.
Timeline of Events

• The Rally: Earlier that morning, President Trump held a “Save America” rally at the Ellipse, where he repeated claims of widespread election fraud and urged his supporters to march to the Capitol and “fight like hell.”
• The Breach: Around 1:00 PM, as Congress began the certification process, protesters began clashing with police at the Capitol perimeter. By 2:11 PM, the first rioters breached the building by smashing windows and climbing through doors.
• Evacuation: The session was halted. Vice President Mike Pence, members of Congress, and staff were evacuated to secure locations or barricaded themselves in offices as rioters entered the Senate chamber and ransacked several offices, including that of then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
• Restoration of Order: Law enforcement and the National Guard eventually cleared the building of rioters by early evening. Congress reconvened at approximately 8:00 PM and officially certified the election results in the early hours of January 7.
  Casualties and Injuries
  The events resulted in several deaths and hundreds of injuries:
• Immediate Deaths: One rioter, Ashli Babbitt, was shot and killed by Capitol Police while attempting to leap through a shattered window into the Speaker’s Lobby. Three other attendees died of medical emergencies during the event.
• Law Enforcement: Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick died the following day after suffering two strokes; a medical examiner ruled he died of “natural causes” but noted the events of the day “played a role.” In the months following, four other responding officers died by suicide.
• Injuries: At least 140 law enforcement officers were injured, suffering from chemical burns, concussions, and various physical assaults.
  Legal and Political Aftermath
• Impeachment: Donald Trump was impeached by the House of Representatives for “incitement of insurrection” on January 13, 2021, making him the only president to be impeached twice. He was later acquitted by the Senate.
• Criminal Investigations: The FBI and Department of Justice launched a massive investigation. As of early 2026, over 1,500 individuals have been charged with federal crimes ranging from trespassing to seditious conspiracy.
• Property Damage: The attack caused roughly $2.7 million in damage to the Capitol building and its historical artifacts.
  Current Context (2026)
  Following the five-year anniversary of the event, the narrative surrounding January 6 remains a point of intense political debate. While judicial records and the bipartisan House Select Committee established a detailed account of a violent insurrection, more recent political shifts have seen a movement toward pardoning participants and reframing the day’s events.
