On January 6th, four insurrectionists and five police officers lost their lives. A total of 1,265 Trump supporters have faced charges, with 213 pleading guilty to felonies and another 505 pleading guilty to misdemeanors. Sentences have varied from 2 to 22 years. On May 28th, 2021, Senate Republicans blocked a proposal to create an independent commission to investigate the events.
