They bolstered their case with accounts from the rioters themselves, some of whom said they were acting on Trump's orders. The former president's defense team insists Trump's speech near the White House was protected under the First Amendment. And they argue he shouldn't be on trial in the Senate because he is no longer in office — an argument Democrats reject. To underscore their point, Democrats showed videos using rioters own words. Trump senior adviser Jason Miller said he expects the defense will wrap up in less than a day.

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump said Friday he will skip President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration, refusing to fulfill the outgoing president's traditional role in the peaceful transition of power and undercutting his own message just one day earlier on the need for “national healing and unity." Historian Douglas Brinkley said that while attending the inauguration “would be a wonderful olive branch to the country,” he wasn't surprised by the decision. “Donald Trump doesn’t want to be in Washington as the second-fiddle loser standing on stage with Joe Biden,” he said. “To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th,” Trump said in a tweet. White House counsel Pat Cipollone has repeatedly warned Trump that he could be deemed responsible for inciting Wednesday’s violence.

WASHINGTON – With 13 days left in his term, President Donald Trump finally bent to reality Thursday amid growing talk of trying to force him out early, acknowledging he’ll peacefully leave after Congress affirmed his defeat. Trump led off a video from the White House by condemning the violence carried out in his name a day earlier at the Capitol. Deprived of that social media lifeblood, Trump remained silent and ensconced in the executive mansion until Thursday evening. Staff-level discussions on the matter took place across multiple departments and even in parts of the White House, according to two people briefed on the talks. Few aides had any sense of the president’s plans, with some wondering if Trump would largely remain out of sight until he left the White House.

For the first time, two dictionary companies on Monday — Merriam-Webster and Dictionary.com — declared the same word as their tops: pandemic. “Often the big news story has a technical word that’s associated with it and in this case, the word pandemic is not just technical but has become general. The word pandemic dates to the mid-1600s, used broadly for “universal” and more specifically to disease in a medical text in the 1660s, he said.

White House Chief of Staff John Kelly attends a Cabinet Meeting in the Cabinet Room of the White House on August 16, 2018 in Washington, DC. President Donald Trump's delay in starting the transition of power to President-elect Joe Biden is hurting U.S. national security, his former chief of staff John Kelly told Politico on Friday. "It hurts our national security because the people who should be getting [up to speed], it's not a process where you go from zero to 1,000 miles per hour." Kelly's comments come as Biden advisors grow increasingly concerned about the president-elect's lack of briefings on national security and on the federal coronavirus response. "The Trump Administration is following all statutory requirements," White House spokesperson Judd Deere said in an email.

Documents in the report suggest Health and Human Services officials weren't told by the Department of Homeland Security why shelters were receiving more children taken from their parents in late 2017. Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee released the report Thursday with emails obtained from government agencies. The report outlines discussions since the start of the Trump administration of family separation as a law enforcement tactic. Documents in the new report suggest CBP did not communicate with HHS about why shelters were receiving more separated children. The email notes “the increase in referrals” of children unaccompanied by a parent “resulting from separation of children from parents.” White sent McAleenan a chart of all the children HHS had received.

(AP Photo/Peter Morrison, File)LONDON – No more British Army veterans will be charged over the 1972 “Bloody Sunday” killings of 13 civil rights protesters in Londonderry, prosecutors in Northern Ireland said Tuesday. Northern Ireland’s Public Prosecution Service upheld an earlier decision not to prosecute 15 soldiers investigated over Bloody Sunday, one of the deadliest days in Northern Ireland’s decades of violence. British soldiers committed more than 300 of the nearly 3,700 slayings during four decades of Northern Ireland strife, but rarely have been charged with murder.

“People need to understand how dangerous a moment we are in.”There are plenty of others weighing the same decision. But Mattis and Coats, like former White House chief of staff John Kelly and former national security adviser H.R. The White House punched back with an aggressive attack campaign aimed at discrediting her through a barrage of statements, interviews and denunciations from the lectern in the White House briefing room. “The White House knows if they show this is a very costly thing to do they will scare people from going forward," he said. He added that while more people are still considering coming forward, the White House tactics have worked to some extent — dissuading one senior official who had been on the cusp of speaking out.

In a reference to the White House Presidential Personnel Office, Carson's notes said: “I am not happy with the way PPO is handling my agency.” The office, run by John McEntee, makes political appointments to federal agency positions. “I like John and respect what he is doing, however I am sensing a severe (illegible) of trust,” Carson’s notes said. There was no immediate comment from the White House or Carson's office. McEntee's appointment to head the personnel office has been controversial. McEntee, 30, returned to the White House in early 2019 after being tapped to lead the White House Presidential Personnel Office, an influential posting that coordinates the screening and hiring of thousands of federal government workers.

WASHINGTON Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has declared President Donald Trump unfit for the presidency, delivering an impassioned reaction to a report that Trump who never served in uniform allegedly mocked American war dead. It could have been a guy like John Kelly, Trump told reporters, saying his former top aide was unable to handle the pressure of this job." As he spoke, Biden grew angry, raising his voice to rebut Trumps alleged comments that Marines who died in battle were suckers for getting killed. Returning to Washington from a Thursday visit to Pennsylvania, Trump told reporters that the Atlantic report was a disgraceful situation by a terrible magazine.I would be willing to swear on anything that I never said that about our fallen heroes, Trump told the reporters, gathered on the tarmac in the dark. His allies quickly seized on the reported comments in hopes they could drive a wedge between military families and veterans and Trump.

Thanks to a mix of conventional and unconventional moves made possible by the Trump era, Nikki Haley has made herself an early front-runner for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination. In a subsequent interview about the book, Haley made the argument that resisting the president publicly and to his face is fine, but doing so behind his back is not. This is the perfect way and perfect time for Haley to clearly set herself apart from the small group of "Never Trumpers" that remain in the GOP. Second, do we really need polls to tell us President Trump remains enormously popular among the Republican rank and file? He was greeted with overwhelming cheers in the deep red state of Alabama at the Alabama-LSU football game on Saturday.

The two former Cabinet members sought Haley's help in their endeavors to subvert the President but she refused, Haley wrote. However, Haley said she supported most of Trump's foreign policy decisions that others in the White House tried to block or slow down, according to the Post. Haley called Tillerson and Kelly's attempt to subvert the President "offensive" in an interview that aired Sunday on "CBS Sunday Morning." CNN has reached out to Kelly, Tillerson and the White House for comment. In her book, Haley describes multiple clashes within the White House surrounding foreign policy strategy, according to the Post.

Former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly says he told President Donald Trump during his final days on the job not to hire a "yes man" to succeed him, warning the president that he risked impeachment if he did so. Because if you do, I believe you will be impeached," Kelly told the Washington Examiner at the Sea Island Summit, a political conference hosted by the paper. Kelly resigned as chief of staff in December 2018 after clashing with national security officials as well as First Lady Melania Trump. "That was almost 11 months ago, and I have an awful lot of, to say the least, second thoughts about leaving," Kelly told the Washington Examiner. "I worked with John Kelly, and he was totally unequipped to handle the genius of our great President," said White House spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham.

President Trump and the White House disputed former chief of staff John Kelly's comments that he told Mr. Trump he would be impeached if he hired a "yes man" as his successor. The impeachment inquiry is investigating if Mr. Trump tied military aid to Ukraine's willingness to investigate Mr. Trump's political rivals, which would amount to a quid pro quo. Mr. Trump responded to Kelly on Saturday that Kelly "never said anything like that. Kelly told the Examiner he has "to say the least, second thoughts about leaving." During the panel discussion, Kelly called Mr. Trump's decision to remove troops from Syria a "catastrophically bad idea," according to the Examiner.
