Mike Pence

Lawmakers investigating the 2021 U.S. Capitol assault asked Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump on Jan. 20 to cooperate with their inquiry, in a significant escalation of attempts to seek testimony from the inner circle of the former president.

Vucic took to the stage, adjusted his suit, and read the room. In the front row were some familiar faces: Former US Vice President Mike Pence, the prime ministers of Slovenia and Czechia, Janez Jansa and Andrej Babis, Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik and the man they had all come to see, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

The U.S. House of Representatives Select Committee investigating the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol has subpoenaed four former members of Donald Trump's administration, including Mark Meadows and Steve Bannon, the panel's chairman said on Sept. 23.

Eleven years after Orban returned to power and made family policy a cornerstone of his vision for the future, the answer is that it's complicated.

House Democrats prosecuting Donald Trump's impeachment trial for inciting the deadly siege of the Capitol played chilling security video on Feb. 10 showing members of the pro-Trump mob searching the building for his vice president, chanting: "Hang Mike Pence!"

The nomination makes Bakalova the first Bulgarian actress recognised on such a level in the film industry. She has been nominated alongside Kate Hudson (Music), Michelle Pfeiffer (French Exit), Rosamund Pike (I Care a Lot), and Anya Taylor-Joy (Emma).

Montgomery has served in Sarajevo, Riga, Kabul and Dubai, while at the State Department she served in the Office of Eastern European Affairs and the Executive Secretariat.

Many wondered how the handover would take place, given that Trump was thousands of kilometers away from Biden.

By the time Joe Biden is sworn in as the 46th U.S. president Wednesday, his scandal-tainted predecessor Donald Trump will already be far away, having helicoptered out of the White House a last time earlier that morning, an official said on Jan. 15. 

Trump will be the first president in a century and a half to snub the inauguration of his successor.

Trump was impeached for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
Members of the lower house of the American Congress accused Trump of inciting a rebellion before the intrusion of part of his supporters into the Capitol Hill complex.
