The fourth anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol now has a new focus ahead of Trump's White House return.

New Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) said it’s President-elect Trump’s decision to pardon Jan. 6 rioters. Thune joined NBC News’s “Meet the Press” for an interview that aired Sunday, where he was asked by host Kristen Welker how he felt about Trump’s promise to pardon Jan.

Former Capitol Police officers present during the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection said President-elect Trump’s commitment to pardon rioters is “a betrayal.” “It’s a betrayal, a stab in the heart,” former Sergeant Aquilino Gonell told the Washington Post.

The win came after a tense stand-off with House Republicans and a phone call from Donald Trump to two members of the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus.

WEST PALM BEACH, Florida/ROME (Reuters) -Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said on Sunday she was ready to work with Donald Trump after making a surprise visit to Florida to meet the president-elect before his inauguration on Jan.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni attended a documentary about Trump ally John Eastman's attempts to overthrow the results of the 2020 election.

Giorgia Meloni had dinner with Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago golf club on Saturday, as the Italian prime minister seeks to strengthen ties with the US president-elect ahead of his swearing in. The Italian leader’s unannounced trip comes days before outgoing US President Joe Biden is due to visit Rome and the Vatican for what will be his last overseas trip before relinquishing office.
