In addition, three other people died in incidents related to the assault on the Capitol, according to police, although they did not specify how.

Twitter, meanwhile, has suspended Trump's account for 12 hours.

Several senior officials in the Trump Administration have resigned in protest of the attack on Capitol Hill.

White House Deputy National Security Adviser Matt Pottinger and Stephanie Grisham, former White House communications director, have resigned, CNN reported.

The Democratic party seized both seats and has wrested control of the upper house from the Republicans.
