(FILES) In this file photo taken on January 06, 2021 supporters of US President Donald Trump, including member of the QAnon conspiracy group Jake Angeli, aka Yellowstone Wolf (C), enter the US Capitol in Washington, DC. - One year after supporters of Donald Trump stormed the US Capitol and shut down Congress, Americans still await a reckoning on the unprecedented challenge to the country's democracy. Was it a simple protest-turned-riot? An insurrection? A coup attempt plotted by Trump? Videos from January 6, 2021 bear witness to the violence wrought in the former president's name. Attackers beating security officers with iron bars and clubs. A policeman crushed in a doorway, howling in pain. Rioters clad in assault gear chanting "Hang Mike Pence," while the vice president and Democratic and Republican lawmakers flee. A woman shot to death in a Capitol hallway. Americans were stunned by the hours-long assault, and so was much of the world, accustomed to seeing the United States as a model of stable democracy. One year later, the brazen attempt to prevent Democrat Joe Biden from taking office after his victory in the November 2020 presidential election needs an accounting. (Photo by Saul LOEB / AFP)
