He slammed his supporters for attacking Capitol Hill a week ago, vowing to clampdown and prosecute them for the act.
Trump said “there is never a justification for violence. No excuses, no exceptions: America is a nation of laws.”
“Those who engaged in the attacks last week will be brought to justice,” he said.
