Trump, who as recently as Thursday morning had continued to claim falsely that the election had been stolen from him, said his aim would now turn to ensure a smooth transition to a Biden administration.

The president criticized Wednesday’s violence, saying rioters had defiled the seat of American democracy.

And to all of my wonderful supporters, I know you are disappointed, but I also want you to know that our incredible journey is only just beginning.”

The statement was a stark reversal for Trump, who has spent months insisting he prevailed in the Nov. 3 election due to widespread fraud, despite no evidence.

His exhortation on Wednesday to thousands of supporters that they should march to the Capitol to protest the election results whipped up a mob that overran police officers and invaded the Capitol building, forcing members of Congress into hiding for their own safety.

The top Democrats in Congress, House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, had called on Vice President Mike Pence and Trump’s Cabinet earlier on Thursday to invoke a provision of the U.S. Constitution that allows them to remove the president from power if he is unable to discharge the duties of the office.

Barring that, Pelosi said she would likely reconvene the House to initiate impeachment proceedings against Trump for his role in Wednesday’s violence, which claimed five lives, including that of a Capitol Police officer, according to reports.

In another report by Washington Post, the White House has finally asked thousands of President Donald Trump’s political appointees to resign.

The appointees, ranging from ambassadors to schedulers, are to resign on the day of Joe Biden and Harris Kamala’s inauguration.
