Donald Trump has issued a statement urging his supporters not to commit violence.
With just seven days of his presidency remaining - and with Congress debating his impeachment for inciting insurrection - the President told his supporters there should be "NO violence, NO lawbreaking and NO violence of any kind"
It comes just a day after the President warned that any move to impeach him would spark more violence.
In a written statement issued to Fox News, then issued as an official White House Statement, the President said violence was not "what I stand for."
He said: "In light of reports of more demonstrations, I urge that there must be NO violence, NO lawbreaking and NO violence of any kind. That is not what I stand for, and it is not what America stands for.
"I call on ALL Americans to help ease tensions and calm tempers. Thank You."
The House of Representatives is currently debating articles of impeachment against the President, on charges of inciting insurrection.
Last week, the President used a speech on the White House south lawn to urge supporters to march on the Capitol building, where electoral votes were being counted which confirmed he had lost the election.
The siege and riot which ensued resulted in five deaths.
Trump spent months leading up to the riot claiming the election was rigged and had been stolen from him. And throughout his Presidency he has repeatedly called for his political opponents to be imprisoned.
And even the most senior House Republican, Kevin McCarthy said the President was responsible for last Wednesday's violence.
"The President bears responsibility for Wednesday's attack on Congress by mob rioters," said McCarthy, a Trump ally who has repeated the president's unfounded criticism about the validity of the 2020 presidential election.
"He should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding,"
