US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said leaders of Congress will proceed with the certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s win despite Capitol invasion by supporters of incumbent President Donald Trump.

In a letter to colleagues, Pelosi announced that the leaders will resume the joint session on Wednesday night to certify Biden’s win once the Capitol is “cleared for use.”

“In consultation with Leader Hoyer and Whip Clyburn and after calls to the Pentagon, the Justice Department and the Vice President, we have decided we should proceed tonight at the Capitol once it is cleared for use. Leader Hoyer will be sending out more guidance later today,” Pelosi said, according to CNN.
