Benjamin Philips (Trump supporter)

The attack January 6 United States Capitol attack was followed by political, legal, and social repercussions.

The second impeachment of Donald Trump, who was charged for incitement of insurrection for his conduct, occurred on January 13.

At the same time, Cabinet officials were pressured to invoke the 25th Amendment for removing Trump from office.

Trump was subsequently acquitted in the Senate trial, which was held in February after Trump had already left office.

The result was a 57–43 vote in favor of conviction, with every Democrat and seven Republicans voting to convict, but two-thirds of the Senate (67 votes) are required to convict.

Many in the Trump administration resigned.

Several large companies announced they were halting all political donations, and others have suspended funding the lawmakers who had objected to certifying Electoral College results.

A bill was introduced to form an independent commission, similar to the 9/11 Commission, to investigate the events surrounding the attack; it passed the House but was blocked by Republicans in the Senate.

The House then approved a House "select committee" to investigate the attack.

In June, the Senate released the results of its own investigation of the attack.

The event led to strong criticism of law enforcement agencies.

Leading figures within the United States Capitol Police resigned.

A large-scale criminal investigation was undertaken, with the Federal Bureau of Investigation ( FBI ) opening more than 1,200 case files.

Federal law enforcement undertook a nationwide manhunt for the perpetrators, with arrests and indictments following within days.

Over 890 people had been found guilty of federal crimes.Multiple sources:

Trump was suspended from various social media sites for his involvement in inciting the attack, at first temporarily and then indefinitely.

In response to posts by Trump supporters in favor of the attempts to overturn the election, the social networking site Parler was shut down by its service providers.

Corporate suspensions of other accounts and programs associated with participating groups also took place.

The inauguration week was marked by nationwide security concerns.

Unprecedented security preparations for the inauguration of Joe Biden were undertaken, including the deployment of 25,000 National Guard members.

In May, the House passed a $1.9 billion Capitol security bill in response to the attack.

In the days following the attack on the Capitol, Republican politicians in at least three states introduced legislation creating new prohibitions on protest activity.

The deaths of five people who were present at the event have, to a varying degree, been related to it.

A number of other people were injured, with severe injuries among members of law enforcement being documented.

As lawmakers were being evacuated by Capitol Police, Ashli Elizabeth Babbitt, a 35-year-old Air Force veteran, attempted to climb through a shattered window in a barricaded door and was shot in the shoulder by Lt. Michael Leroy Byrd, dying from the wound.

The shooting was recorded on several cameras.

Capitol Police officers had been warned that many attackers were carrying concealed weapons, although a subsequent search revealed no weapons in Babbitt's possession.

In the minutes before she was shot, the crowd had threatened police.

A fellow rally attendee who was right near Babbitt recalled she had been warned not to proceed through the window: "A number of police and Secret Service were saying 'Get back! Get down! Get out of the way!'; she didn't heed the call...".

Republican Representative Markwayne Mullin said he witnessed the shooting; he felt that Lt. Byrd "didn't have a choice" but to shoot, and that this action "saved people's lives".

According to Mullin, at the time, law enforcement was trying to defend two fronts to the House Chamber from the mob, and "a lot of members [of Congress] and staff that were in danger at the time".

Zachary Jordan Alam (who was standing next to Babbitt) was videotaped smashing the glass window that Babbitt tried to climb through.

He was later indicted on twelve federal counts, including assaulting officers with a dangerous weapon.

Following the routine process for shootings by Capitol Police officers, the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department and the Justice Department investigated Babbitt's death and declined to charge Lt. Byrd.

Babbitt was a follower of the QAnon conspiracy theory, and had tweeted the previous day "the storm is here", a reference to its prophecy.

There has since been an effort by conservative media and political figures to present her as a martyr.

Three other Trump supporters also died: Rosanne Boyland, 34, of Kennesaw, Georgia, Kevin Greeson, 55, from Athens, Alabama, and Benjamin Philips, 50, of Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania.

Boyland was a radicalized follower of QAnon whose family had begged her not to attend.

Initially thought to have been trampled to death by the crowd, she was later confirmed to have died of an amphetamine overdose during the attack.

Her death was classified as accidental by the D.C. medical examiner's office.
