Eight days before his inauguration, Donald Trump staged his first press conference since July. The president-elect was grilled by on his potential conflicts of interests regarding his business ties, his friendliness towards Vladimir Putin, and his tax returns. Could these criticisms be grounds for impeachment on Day One? And with Trump hitting back hard at reporters and singling out “failing news organisations”, how will the press cover a President who undermines them to such an extent?

François Hollande gave France 24 his first interview since the election of Donald Trump. Will the Paris deal be undone? Speaking in his first interview since the election of Donald Trump, François Hollande gave us his views on the President-Elect. At home Hollande struggles to mount a credible case for reelection as mainstream parties chase after the far-right electorate of Marine Le Pen. How can he win back the disenfranchised who've abandoned the left for the National Front?
As far as press conferences go, in and around the White House, it's been mighty quiet ever since the press began referring to Joe Biden as 'President-Elect.' CNN reports while President Donald Trump has played a lot of golf since Election Day, he hasn't answered a single question from the press. Nor has Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller, despite the White House's decision to draw down troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. However, CNN reports White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany showed up to a press briefing on Friday--her first one in seven weeks. In the end, however, she refused to take a question from CNN White House Correspondent Kaitlan Collins, calling her an 'activist.' Collins told CNN's Brian Stelter on Sunday that no one wants to speak because Trump's still trying to overturn the election behind the scenes.
