Trump Speaks
President Trump surprised reporters at the White House late yesterday afternoon by delivering an impromptu press conference.

Day One
Yesterday was a big day in Washington. As newly-elected members of Congress were sworn in, control of the House of Representatives flipped from Republican to Democrat.
