'Trump is my president': Protesters gather in DC a day before Congress certifies election, clash with police at night
WASHINGTON — Crowds of President Donald Trump's supporters gathered Tuesday, a day before planned rallies and protests likely to attract conspiracy theorists and far-right extremists to the nation's capital.
By Tuesday night, DC police had announced six protest-related arrests. The Metropolitan Police Department made five arrests — three men, two women — with charges ranging from carrying a pistol without a license to assault of a police officer, according to a spokesman.
The spokesman added the U.S. Park Police also made one arrest.
Fervent Trump supporters are convening in D.C. this week to contest what they call a rigged election, despite a lack of evidence of widespread voter fraud. The rallies coincide with a congressional vote to certify President-elect Joe Biden's win in the Electoral College on Wednesday.
