		</div><p>Former attorney general William Barr said President Donald Trump’s conduct as a violent mob of his supporters stormed the US Capitol was a “betrayal of his office and supporters”.</p>
<p>In a statement, Mr Barr said that “orchestrating a mob to pressure Congress is inexcusable”.</p>
<p>Mr Barr was one of Mr Trump’s most loyal and ardent defenders in the Cabinet.</p>
<p>His comments come a day after angry and armed protesters broke into the US Capitol, forcing Congress members to halt the ongoing vote to certify President-elect Joe Biden’s election and then flee from the House and Senate chambers.</p>
<p>Mr Barr resigned last month amid lingering tension over the president’s baseless claims of election fraud and the investigation into Mr Biden’s son.</p>
<h3>Capitol Police chief condemns protest and identifies woman who died</h3>
<p>The chief of the US Capitol Police says the violent mob that stormed the building wielded metal pipes, chemical irritants and other weapons against law enforcement.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>Steven Sund issued a statement saying the rioting protesters “actively attacked” police officers and “were determined to enter into the Capitol Building by causing great damage”.</p>
<p>A Capitol Police officer shot and killed one person, who Mr Sund identified as Ashli Babbitt.</p>
<p>Mr Sund did not identify the officer but said they would be placed on administrative leave pending an investigation.</p>
<p>Mr Sund defended his agency’s response from criticism that officers did not stop the incursion.</p>
<p>He says his agency “had a robust plan” for what he anticipated would be peaceful protests, but what occurred Wednesday was “criminal riotous behaviour”.</p>
<p>He said more than 50 Capitol and Washington police officers were injured and several Capitol Police officers were taken to hospital with serious injuries.</p>
