MNI BRIEF: Biden Says Capitol Protest 'Borders on Sedition'

WASHINGTON (MNI)

U.S. President-elect Joe Biden said Wednesday the protest where people broke into the Capitol building "borders on sedition."

"I call on President Trump to go on national television now, and to fulfil his oath" by demanding the protests end, Biden said.

Shortly before Biden spoke, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued a joint statement "calling on President Trump to demand that all protestors leave the U.S. Capitol and Capitol Grounds immediately."
