Here’s how. | | | | | | | | | | | | | U.S. | | Federal prosecutors offered an ominous new assessment of last week’s siege of the Capitol by Trump’s supporters, saying in a court filing that rioters intended 'to capture and assassinate elected officials'. Prosecutors offered that view in a filing asking a judge to detain Jacob Chansley, the Arizona man and QAnon conspiracy theorist who was famously photographed wearing horns as he stood at the desk of Vice President Mike Pence in the chamber of the U.S. Senate. | | | | | | | | United by political grievances, they came in costumes, snapping selfies, calling themselves patriots. Some came armed for battle and planning for “war.” As authorities begin to charge the rioters in the Jan. 6 siege of the U.S. Capitol, court documents paint a picture of a diverse mob that included both citizens with mainstream careers - police officers, a flower shop owner, a state lawmaker, military veterans, even an Olympic medalist - as well as Americans on the fringe. One was a member of the Proud Boys, a far-right extremist group. Another had a caveman costume beneath a police bulletproof vest. One served time in prison for attempted murder. | | | | | | | | Inside Trump’s final days: Reuters spoke to more than a dozen Trump administration officials with a window into the closing act of his presidency. They described a shrinking circle of loyal aides who are struggling to contain an increasingly fretful, angry and isolated president – one seemingly still clinging to unfounded claims of election fraud - and to keep the White House functioning until Biden assumes power.
The timing of Trump’s impeachment trial could come into clearer focus on Friday when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is expected to take questions about her next steps at a morning news conference at the Capitol. | | | | | | | | When a U.S. appeals court declared that Florida could make it harder for convicted felons to vote - a ruling decried by civil rights activists - the impact of President Donald Trump’s conservative judicial appointments was plain to see. During his four years in office, Trump's transformation of the federal judiciary has not been limited to his appointment of three conservative Supreme Court justices. Since taking office in 2017, Trump appointed 54 judges to the U.S. appeals courts — a record pace. By comparison, former President Barack Obama appointed 55 appellate court judges during his eight years in office. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Top Stories on Reuters TV | | | | | | | |
