Washington DC, Jan 14 (EFE/EPA).- Nearly three-dozen Democratic Party lawmakers have signed a letter calling for a prompt investigation into a "suspicious" visit to the United States Capitol complex by a group of apparent supporters of outgoing President Donald Trump on Jan. 5, the day before the deadly storming of that legislative building by a pro-Trump mob.The letter to the acting chief of the US Capitol Police and the acting House of Representatives and Senate sergeants-at-arms said there were "unusually large groups of people throughout the Capitol who could only have gained access to the Capitol Complex from a Member of Congress or a member of their staff."

CNN reports Arkansas man Richard Barnett has been charged with three federal counts. CNN reports the Arkansas man was taken into custody Friday morning in Little Rock.

According to Business Insider, aides say that President Donald Trump was detached, "mentally unreachable," and and ignored their pleas during the storming of the US Capitol building on Wednesday. An official told The Washington Post that the president has "this notion that he's been treated unfairly." People close to Trump said that they were "certain the president wanted this and is enjoying it." The violent attack forced members of Congress to hide and flee temporarily from the Capitol, while in the process of certifying Joe Biden's election victory. Trump stayed in the White House and defended his supporters, while refusing to condemn the violence. Trump's aides urged him to issue a strong statement against the rioters' violence, but he was "ignoring these entreaties." An official described Trump as "a total monster," and others were "avoiding him like the plague."
