January 6 United States Capitol attack

Donald Trump will be sentenced Friday for covering up hush money payments to a porn star despite the U.S. President-elect's last-ditch efforts to frustrate a process that would make him the first felon in the White House.

Donald Trump, the newly elected U.S. President, expressed understanding of Russia's opposition to Ukraine's potential NATO membership. In a recent press conference at his Florida estate, Trump acknowledged Russia's long-standing objection to Ukraine joining the alliance, which predates Vladimir Putin's presidency.

Donald Trump threatened military action to secure the Panama Canal and economic force against neighboring Canada in meandering remarks Tuesday that drew firm and frosty responses from the two U.S. allies.

Congress on Monday certified U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's election victory, a formality that was remarkable for its contrast to four years ago, when the Republican summoned a mob to Washington that ransacked the U.S. Capitol.

As the January 20 inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump approaches, there is growing speculation over whether he will grant pardons to individuals charged in connection with the January 6 Capitol riots. More than 1,500 individuals have faced legal charges related to the attack, and Trump has suggested he may prioritize legal relief for them once in office.

Donald Trump is set to be sentenced on January 10 in a criminal case involving hush money payments to a porn actor and falsification of business records, a New York judge ruled. However, Trump will not face legal penalties following his conviction, according to CNN.

A pragmatist and tough in his assessments, Ambassador John Bolton knows Donald Trump well from his time working alongside him in the White House as national security adviser. He is one of the few people in Washington who dares to make predictions about Trump's second term and predict the twists and turns of his foreign policy.

President-elect Donald Trump promised on Tuesday to "vigorously pursue" capital punishment after President Joe Biden commuted the sentences of most people on federal death row partly to stop Trump from pushing forward their executions.

Donald Trump said he will seek the death penalty for rapists and murderers.

“I will instruct the Justice Department when I takes office on January 20 to vigorously pursue the death penalty to protect Americans from violent rapists, murderers and predators,” he said.

Donald Trump's inauguration as 47th president of the United States is a month away. The ritual of succession, and the "serial number" of the office holder provide a sense of normalcy to the assumption of the superpower's highest office - and Trump was indeed elected by democratic process. But clearly, this presidency will be like no other.
