The speaker rebuked House Republicans for giving the supporter of conspiracy theories a spot on the Education Committee. Greene's views have come under fresh scrutiny this week.

The House impeachment managers are expected to deliver an article of impeachment against former President Donald Trump to the Senate on Monday. The impeachment trial is set to begin in two weeks.

The House normally has no role in Cabinet nominations, but because Austin, a retired Army general, has been out of uniform for less than seven years, both chambers of Congress must approve a waiver.

The inauguration wasn't the only transition of power that took place on Wednesday. Vice President Harris was to swear in new senators from Georgia, giving Democrats control of the chamber.

President-elect Biden's inaugural week kicks off under high security in Washington, D.C., and elsewhere. His team says it's vital that he takes the oath of office outside the Capitol as is tradition.

Former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund says he believes the Capitol riot was part of an orchestrated plan. He also says reports of pipe bombs planted nearby may have been used to distract police.

Sund says U.S. Capitol Police expected some additional violence the day of the insurrection but says nothing could have prepared them for what actually happened.

Barricades were set several blocks from the Capitol building. Law enforcement and national guard officials checked badges for anyone to enter the perimeter even by foot.

House Democrats are on course to impeach President Trump. The article of impeachment is expected to be approved on Wednesday, and some key Republicans are on board.

House Democrats filed an impeachment resolution with one article, charging President Trump with inciting a violent insurrection. They are urging Vice President Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment.

More than half of House Democrats back articles of impeachment and are pressing leaders to reconvene next week to vote on them. Leaders warn if the president isn't removed they will proceed.

Lawmakers continue to demand answers and accountability following the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. House Democrats are considering another impeachment of President Trump.

Lawmakers took aim at top Capitol security officials the day after a mob of pro-Trump extremists breached the building and forced evacuations. Now top Capitol security officials have quit.

GOP Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah was confronted in an airport by supporters of President Trump. But Romney saved his stronger words for Trump himself.

Republicans will see more than 100 of their House members and over a dozen GOP senators object to the election results. Those objections are highly unlikely to prevail.

President Trump has signed a massive COVID-19 relief and omnibus spending package, deputy press secretary Judd Deere said Sunday night on Twitter.

Two unemployment programs have expired because President Trump has not signed the COVID-19 relief package that was overwhelmingly passed by both the Senate and the House.

President Trump called a new relief bill a "disgrace" and left Washington, D.C. If he doesn't sign it by Monday, Congress will need to pass a stopgap measure to keep the government from shutting down.
