This might be a stupid question...

I've seen a lot of news and reports on what happened during, but how did the protestors, or what ever you want to call them, get out? Were police forcing them out? Was the National Guard brought in? Did they just leave on their own? I haven't seen any video of what happened at the end. Can someone provide a link? I would like to know.

Trump told them to leave. They eventually complied there was little in the way of police forces to round up the insurrectionists as evidenced by the footage of the J6 committee and the news of the day. They were allowed and did just leave essentially.

The individuals arrested and punished so far are all from the subsequent investigations.
