“He should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding.” “These facts require immediate actions by President Trump,” he continued. A few Republicans defended him, but most others simply argued that a rush to impeach Mr. Trump without a hearing or an investigation raised constitutional questions. With Democrats controlling the House, Mr. Trump is expected to become the first American president to be impeached twice. Mayor Muriel Bowser of Washington sent a letter to Mr. Trump on Sunday asking for an emergency declaration to obtain additional funding for inauguration security. On Tuesday, a federal inspector general questioned an order to deliver the estimates before Mr. Trump leaves office, after whistle-blowers warned that the rush would imperil their accuracy.

Potential witnesses could always invoke the Fifth Amendment for state crimes. But criminal law experts say Trump probably doesn't have much to worry about. The Fifth Amendment offers wide protectionsProsecutors can still try other ways to force testimony. AP Photo/Evan VucciThe Fifth Amendment is simply too important to a democratic way of life to be waved away so easily, Zelin said. "If there's anything else that could be prosecuted for, other than what he was pardoned for, he still has the Fifth Amendment," Dershowitz said.

said Lori Tremmel Freeman, who heads the National Association of County and City Health Officials. When it does come, state and local officials will be charged with implementing it. While the Trump administration invested billions to help develop vaccines, it largely left distribution logistics — including the specifics of who stands where in line — to state and local officials. It remains unclear exactly how prepared state officials are for that challenge. A review of these public state plans reveal varying levels of detail.

Rumors around a Donald Trump presidential memoir, and which publishing house will buy it, are swirling. A potential Trump memoir poses a big reward to whoever publishes it, along with a potentially large risk, executives and agents said. That book ended up getting published by Skyhorse Publishing, which several publishing workers cited as a possible home for a Trump memoir. Several publishing workers indicated that they anticipated there would be some form of collective action if the Trump memoir was acquired. Several publishing workers said they saw publishing Trump's memoir as a line in the sand that a larger house may not want to cross.

☆ How the Biden Administration Will Tackle Travel

For now, all high-speed rail projects in the U.S. face plenty of opposition and practical problems. California’s high-speed rail is under construction between Bakersfield and Merced—not exactly a well-traveled route. High-speed rail is under construction in the Central Valley of California, but it’s unclear if the project will ever link San Francisco with Los Angeles. In Florida, another private company is working on rail projects linking some major cities, though at slower speeds than typical bullet trains. An advisory board was established in President George W. Bush’s administration, but no administration has signed off on a plan.

The "Dueling Dinosaurs" fossil is made up of intertwined T. rex and triceratops skeletons. A 67-million-year-old fossil pair known as "Dueling Dinosaurs" consists of a remarkably preserved T. rex alongside the bones of an equally intact Triceratops. The 30,000-pound fossils will soon arrive at the museum, which plans to begin work on a new Dueling Dinosaurs exhibit in May. A tricky sale more than a decade in the makingClayton Phipps of Brusett, Montana, poses with one of the two "Dueling Dinosaurs" he discovered in 2006, November 14, 2013.
