The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The United States Congress has certified Joe Biden as president, hours after a large group of Donald Trump supporters stormed the Capitol.
Trump released a video in which he repeated his claims that the election was fraudulent. He also praised the rioters, calling them "very special".
He has since been banned from Facebook and Instagram until 20 January, while Twitter suspended his account for 12 hours.
There have now been calls for Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Trump from office.
Cal Thomas, Marion McKeone and Dave Hannigan joined us to discuss these events.
