Trump promises 'unity' in first Capitol visit since Jan 6 riot

Former US President Donald Trump has returned to Capitol Hill to meet Republicans, in his first visit since the riot by his supporters at Congress three years ago.
 
Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee in November's presidential election, delivered a message of unity, promising to "work out" any lingering differences within the party.
 
The former president was also scheduled to meet an association of 200 corporate leaders.
 
In reaction, former Democratic House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, said Trump was the "instigator of an insurrection... returning to the scene of the crime".
 
The visit comes a fortnight after Trump's criminal conviction for falsifying business records in his hush-money trial in New York.
 
He arrived at a Republican office building near the US Capitol building yesterday morning, passing a small crowd of protesters holding signs with slogans including "failed coup" and "Democracy Forever, Trump Never".
