January 6 Capitol Riot: Two years later, charges, convictions, and trials

Due to false allegations that the 2020 election had been "rigged" against Republican incumbent Donald Trump, thousands of people invaded the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, in an effort to halt the certification of the results.
Over 2,000 people broke into the Capitol building, ransacked offices, urinated in public areas, and looked for members of Congress. Despite the fact that the attack finally failed, it raised concerns about the stability of US democracy and the rising power of anti-democratic forces inside the Republican Party.
More than 950 people are facing federal charges, and some of them have already been found guilty of significant sedition-related charges for attempting to topple the government.
President Joe Biden plans to host a White House ceremony in the East Room on Friday to remember the tragic events that took place that day and mark the riot's second anniversary.
The aftermath of the attack is still a problem for the US. In connection with the incident, more than 950 persons have been charged with federal offenses; some of them are accused of seditious conspiracy, a rare but serious criminal.
According to information released by the US Justice Department on Wednesday, 484 of those individuals have admitted guilt to various offenses, and 192 have received prison sentences.
Key political players connected to the incident, including Trump, who presided at the time and incited the rioters, should face criminal charges, according to a report by an investigation committee in the US House of Representatives last month.
