=== Assistant: Short version: On Jan 6, 2021, a pro-Trump mob violently breached the U.S. ===
Short version: On Jan 6, 2021, a pro-Trump mob violently breached the U.S. Capitol to stop Congress from certifying the 2020 presidential election. Lawmakers and the vice president were evacuated; Congress reconvened that night and finished the count in the early hours of Jan 7. More than 140 police officers were assaulted, one rioter was shot by police while trying to force through a barricade, several others died of medical emergencies around that day, and an officer died of strokes the next day; multiple officers later died by suicide.

===== Who was responsible—according to official findings and courts =====
* The rioters who entered the Capitol and assaulted police. The Justice Department has charged roughly 1,500+ defendants; over a thousand have been convicted. Department of Justice<ref>{{cite web|title=Department of Justice|url=https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/four-men-sentenced-prison-actions-during-jan-6-capitol-breach|publisher=Department of Justice|access-date=2025-11-20}}</ref>
* Leaders of organized extremist groups. Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio and Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes were convicted of seditious conspiracy for their roles (Tarrio: 22 years; Rhodes: 18 years).

* Donald Trump’s role. The House impeached Trump for “incitement of insurrection” (232–197); the Senate later acquitted (57–43). The bipartisan House Jan. 6 Select Committee’s final report concluded Trump was the central cause of the events.

* Security and intelligence failures. A bipartisan Senate investigation found major planning, intelligence-sharing, and response failures across Capitol security and federal agencies that left the complex vulnerable. rules.senate.gov<ref>{{cite web|title=rules.senate.gov|url=https://www.rules.senate.gov/download/hsgac-rules-jan-6-report|publisher=rules.senate.gov|access-date=2025-11-20}}</ref>

If you want, I can break down what each investigation specifically said (House Jan. 6 Committee vs. the Senate security reviews) or pull key timelines (minute-by-minute) of the day.

=== Assistant: On January 6, 2021, a mob of Trump supporters stormed the U.S. ===
On January 6, 2021, a mob of Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol to try to stop Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s election win. Lawmakers had to evacuate, police were attacked, and several people died from the chaos. Over 1,000 rioters have been convicted so far, including leaders of extremist groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers.

Trump was impeached for “incitement of insurrection,” and a bipartisan investigation later concluded that his actions and rhetoric were the main cause. There were also major security and intelligence failures that day, but the violence was overwhelmingly driven by people who believed Trump’s false claims that the election was stolen.
