Donald Trump recognises ‘new administration’ after US Capitol riot

Donald Trump acknowledges in a video released on Thursday night that a ‘new administration’ will be inaugurated on 20 January, one day after he repeated baseless claims at a Washington DC rally that the election had been stolen. The rally became a precursor for a violent attack on the US Capitol that appalled the nation. In his video, Trump went on to say the rioters ‘do not represent our country’ and that those who broke the law would pay.
