Inside the US Capitol siege, as seen by AFP photographer Saul Loeb | AFP

AFP photographer Saul Loeb was inside the US Capitol on assignment when a mob of Donald Trump supporters stormed the building. He captured some of the most iconic photos of the events that followed. In an interview the day after, he talks about his eventful day, starting with a security officer telling him how quiet it was in the morning to initially thinking only a dozen protesters made it inside, and finally what happened when "hundreds and hundreds of protesters [were] streaming into the Rotunda from seemingly every direction." Loeb then describes what it was like inside Nancy Pelosi's highly-secure office after it was breached, where he captured a rioter with a foot on a desk and a note left behind that read "We will not back down."
