Four years after the January 6th Capitol riot, Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 election will be certified, marking his return to the White House despite facing federal felony charges. Security will be tight as Trump takes office, with extensive measures in place to prevent any repeat of the January 6th violence.
Four years after supporters of Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol in support of his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss, members of Congress will be under heavy security Monday as they certify Trump's 2024 election victory, ensuring the first president to face federal felony criminal charges will return to the White House in two weeks. On Jan. 20, Trump will walk through the Lower West Tunnel — the location of some of the worst violence of the attack on Jan.
6, 2021 — to take the oath of office as the 47th president of the United States. Trump, who himself was convicted of seditious conspiracy, faces more than 1,580 defendants charged and about 1,270 convicted in a sprawling investigation that has resulted in more than 660 prison sentences, according to statistics released Monday by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia. Hundreds more Jan. 6 defendants have been sentenced to probation, most of whom were convicted of low-level offenses like unlawful parading. In September, the federal government declared the Electoral College certification a National Special Security Event, heightening the level of security at the Capitol. Though there are no major Democratic protests planned for Monday, the government put severe security measures in place ahead of this week that will remain as law enforcement agencies deal with other upcoming events, including Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20. About 36 hours before a snowstorm was expected to hit Washington, workers at the Capitol were placing additional layers of high fencing around the Capitol grounds on Saturday morning. Those layers were seen on the west front, which Trump supporters took over during the Capitol attack four years ago. Trump, like many of his fellow Republicans, underwent a massive shift in his rhetoric since the Jan. 6 attack, from having propagated the false claims of a stolen election to embracing a more conciliatory tone
