The aftermath continues this week following the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. The buildings and grounds have now been occupied by thousands of National Guard troops, and the House voted to impeach President Donald Trump for “incitement of insurrection.”

Our photojournalists have been at the center of it all. Here’s the week in photos:
