(FILES) In this file photo taken on January 13, 2021, members of the National Guard rest in the US Capitol Visitors Center in Washington, DC, ahead of an expected House vote impeaching US President Donald Trump. - On January 6, 2021 they descended upon Washington, DC in the thousands, gathering to protest the result of a presidential election they still claim was "rigged." The US Capitol came under attack, leaving the country wounded. The world watched live, aghast, as the citadel of American democracy came under assault. During the next few months, two competing narratives would arise. Trump supporters claim it was a peaceful protest against a "stolen" election. Police officers who fought with the mob, Democratic lawmakers and even some Republicans called it "terrorism." (Photo by Brendan Smialowski / AFP) / AFP PICTURES OF THE YEAR 2021
