If you’re not American I can understand not knowing, but on January 6, 2021, thousands of Trump supporters stormed the US Capital in an attempt to stop Joe Biden from becoming President.

There are a whole slew of people facing charges from seditious conspiracy to criminal trespassing, and nearly everything in between.

Jan 6, 2021*. The riots were a result of the 2020 elections which were held in November of 2020.

Edit: As pointed out, riot is too soft a term for what happened. It would be better termed insurrection/attempted coup.
