Alex Jones leads Trump supporters on march into Georgia capitol building

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones was among Trump supporters rallying both in and outside of the Georgia capitol on Wednesday as part of the so-called "Stop the Steal" protests.

Demonstrators were supporting Donald Trump's unproven and thus-far baseless claim that he actually won the election and that rampant voter fraud is to blame for his loss.

Georgia's recount must be completed by 11:59pm on Wednesday. Joe Biden currently leads Mr Trump by 14,000 votes.

Brad Raffensperger, the state's Republican Secretary of State, said he did not expect that the results of the recount will flip Mr Biden's victory.
