Politicians were due to formally declare Joe Biden the winner of November's election, which Donald Trump still falsely claims is fraudulent.
Tear gas was fired as crowds clashed with officers - two pipe bombs were found outside the headquarters of the two main political parties.
US Vice President Mike Pence defied Donald Trump by condemning the protests.
He told politicians - as the sitting in the House got underway again - that the violent scenes were unacceptable. 52 arrests have been made following the clashes on Capitol Hill.
Social media companies have put limits on Donald Trump's accounts.
