The leader of the Republican majority in the US Senate fired the commander of the security forces at Congress following the supporters of Trump storming the building.

Iran Press/America: On Friday, Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that he had called for the resignation of Michael Stenger, the commander of the security forces in Congress and Stenger also had resigned.

In addition to Stenger, US Congressional Chief of Police Steven Sund announced that he would resign on January 16.

On Thursday, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives called on Sund and Stenger to step down because of the incompetence of the 2,000 congressional security forces in countering a small number of Trump supporters.

The attack followed when Trump called for his supporters to rally in front of the US Congress.

Five people were killed and nine Washington DC police officers were injured in an attack on US Congress.

Despite the unrest in the United States, Congress finally confirmed Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 US presidential election.

Trump, however, still insists that he won the 2020 US  presidential election and the Democrats committed widespread fraud. 219
