Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser on Thursday said that President Donald Trump must be held accountable for the Capitol Hill riots, claiming what happened on Wednesday “is what he wanted to happen.” She went on to say those who stormed the Capitol building must also be held accountable, calling it “textbook terrorism,” and called on the Joint Terrorism Task Force to investigate and prosecute any individuals who entered the Capitol, destroyed property or “incited the acts of domestic terrorism.”

Bowser made the comments during a briefing on Thursday about the riots.

Acting police chief Robert Conte said 68 arrests had been made so far in connection to the Capitol protests. He said only one of those arrested was from D.C., the rest were from outside the District of Columbia. He also said that they were circulating image and videos with hotels, businesses, the FBI and the airport authority to track down those photographed destroying property. He also provided the identities of the four people who died during the rioting on Capitol Hill.

U.S. Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy said that the entire D.C. National Guard has been mobilized and they have received support from multiple states, with 6,200 total guardsmen in the city by this weekend. He said in response to the Capitol protests, a seven-foot non-scaleable fence was being erected around the Capitol building and would be in place for at least the next 30 days.
