Proud Boys violence breaks out during DC march backed by Trump

Violence broke out on the streets of Washington DC as thousands of Donald Trump supporters marched on the capital to protest against the election of Joe Biden.

At least 11 people were arrested during the pro-Trump march with fistfights breaking out between members of far-right groups, including the Proud Boys, and counter-protestors across the city.

Thousands of Trump supporters gathered on Freedom Plaza and heard various speakers including pardoned National Security Advisor Michael Flynn spout mistruths about the legitimacy of Mr Biden’s presidential win.

It came just a day after the Supreme Court rejected Texas’ attempt to overturn the election results in four key battleground states and secured Biden’s victory beyond dispute - confirming what local, state, and federal officials of both parties, including US attorney general William Barr, have said since November 3.
