US beefs up security to avoid Capitol violence repeat in run-up to Trump rally

Former US President Donald Trump's supporters are at it again. Hundreds of far-right demonstrators have planned a rally, apparently called 'Justice for J6', on Saturday in support of people who took part in the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

The Department of Homeland Security warned about the potential for violence at the rally

Police have ramped up security around the Capitol in the run-up to the rally, being mindful of the rioters on Jan. 6 who attacked police, smashed windows and entered into the building.

Meanwhile, Trump has maintained his false claims that his defeat was due to widespread election fraud.
