Trump condemns violence at Capitol riot in new video
Shortly after he was impeached for the second time, Trump released a video condemning the violence at last week's riot at the Capitol, which he called a calamity.
"I want to be very clear -- I unequivocally condemn the violence that we saw last week, violence and vandalism have absolutely no place in our country, and no place in our movement," the president said.
"Making America great again has always been about defending the rule of law, supporting the men and women of law enforcement and upholding our nation's most sacred traditions and values," he added. "Mob violence goes against everything I believe in, and everything our movement stands for."
In the video, which was posted to YouTube and the White House Twitter account, Trump said that he directed federal agencies to use "all necessary resources" to maintain order in Washington ahead of Biden's inauguration.

Without mentioning the social media site by name, Trump also seemed to speak to his Twitter ban, saying "the efforts to censor, cancel and blacklist our fellow citizens are wrong and they are dangerous."
"What is needed now is for us to listen to one another. Not silence on another," he added.
The president did not mention impeachment.
