WASHINGTON, Jan 8 — \u2018A new administration\u2019 will take office later this month, US President Donald Trump said Thursday, a day after his supporters stormed the Capitol building, which includes both the House of Representatives and the Senate, reported Anadolu Agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A new administration will be inaugurated on January 20th. My focus now turns to ensuring a smooth, orderly and seamless transition,\u201d Trump said in a video on Twitter, without naming President-elect Joe Biden. “This moment calls for healing and reconciliation.”\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the US had experienced a tense election and “emotions are high and now tempers must be cool and calm restored.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump also called for election laws to “verify the identity and eligibility of all voters and to assure faith and confidence in all future elections.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his remarks, the president took aim at the rioters, saying he is outraged by the “heinous attack” on the Capitol building and the attackers “defiled the seat of American democracy.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“To those who engaged in the acts of violence and destruction, you do not represent our country. To those who broke the law, you will pay,” he added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hundreds of pro-Trump protestors stormed the US Capitol building Wednesday, and the ensuing violence resulted in the deaths of four people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 50 people have been arrested and dozens of injuries were reported. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump and his political allies have for months alleged that the election was rigged and nothing but a \u201cfraud.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
