President Donald Trump has released a video condemning the violent insurrection he fomented at the Capitol last week. The video was released Wednesday after he was impeached by the House for a record second time, this time with Republican votes.

Trump also called on his supporters to remain peaceful amid concerns about additional violence in the days before President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration. Trump said: "I want to be very clear: I unequivocally condemn the violence that we saw last week."

He added, "Violence and vandalism have absolutely no place in our country" and "no true supporter" of his "could ever endorse political violence." Trump also said that he had directed federal agencies to use all necessary resources to maintain order in Washington, D.C. over the next week. Trump made no reference to becoming the first president in the nation's history to be impeached twice.
