Britain's home secretary on Thursday described storming of U.S. Capitol by a violent mob loyal to President Donald Trump as "terrible beyond words." Responding to a question about Trump's role in egging on rioters, Priti Patel said "words of provocation are completely wrong."

violence forced lawmakers into hiding, in a stunning attempt to overturn America's presidential election, undercut nation's democracy and keep Democrat Joe Biden from replacing Trump in White House.
