A DONALD Trump fan was found dead at his home days after he was arrested at the Capitol Hill riot.

Cops also removed two rifles from the victim's home, it was reported.

Georgia had been charged with attempting to "enter certain property, that is, the United States Capitol Grounds, against the will of the United States Capitol Police," prior to his death.

Following last week's protest, Trump issued a dramatic emergency declaration for Washington DC amid fears of more violent clashes.

The president on Monday ordered federal agencies to provide assistance to local law enforcement as fears of violence continue to mount after Trump supporters stormed into the nation's Capitol last week.

DC Mayor Muriel Bowser wrote to Trump on Sunday asking for the emergency declaration.

It can also be declared due to civil unrest, making Trump's declaration of emergency concerning as fears are already mounting about how to keep Biden's inauguration safe.
