Donald Trump has said there will be an "orderly transition" after the US Congress certified Joe Biden's win in the presidential election.
"Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th," the unswerving president said.
"I have always said we would continue our fight to ensure that only legal votes were counted. While this represents the end of the greatest first term in presidential history, it's only the beginning of our fight to Make America Great Again!"
The statement was posted on Twitter by White House spokesman Dan Scavino, after the president's Twitter and Facebook accounts were suspended.
Both companies also removed several posts by the president which made false claims about the election result and praised his supporters for the march in Washington DC to protest against his defeat, which turned violent.
It ended with dramatic scenes which saw the storming of the Capitol building by protesters to disrupt Congress's formal confirmation of Mr Biden's November win - and the deaths of four people.
Trump supporter and US Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt died after being shot by a plain-clothed police officer as protesters attempted to enter the House Chamber where politicians were working to confirm the Electoral College votes in favour of Mr Biden.
Another three people died during the violence from "medical emergencies" and a curfew ordered across the city.
The FBI disarmed two suspected explosive devices in the capital as rioters flooded the streets and breached barricades, including one which resembled a pipe bomb.
The deadly riot was preceded by a rally in which Mr Trump told thousands of supporters, including members of far-right groups: "All of us here today do not want to see our election victory stolen by emboldened radical Democrats.
"We will never give up. We will never concede. It will never happen. You don't concede when there's theft involved. Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore."
He said the outcome of the election was an "egregious assault on our democracy" and they should "walk down to the Capitol".
