On the morning of January 20, 2021, Donald Trump and Melania Trump will depart the White House as President and first lady. According to tradition and proper White House etiquette, the outgoing First Couple observes a number of protocols in the peaceful transition of power. But the Trumps have no intention of doing so. Rather than offering the hand of friendship, they will be raising their well-manicured middle fingers. CNN reports the Trumps have refused to invite the Bidens inside the White House before departing. Nor will they welcome the Bidens on the steps of the North Portico, much less ride with them to the United States Capitol. After all, the outgoing President and his family have refused to attend President-elect Biden's inauguration ceremony entirely.
Business Insider reports that Mick Mulvaney, President Trump's former chief of staff, told CNBC on Thursday that he resigned. Mulvaney who was serving as special envoy to Northern Ireland, said "I can't do it. I can't stay." His decision comes after pro-Trump mobs staged an attack on the Capitol, which postponed the certification of Joe Biden's election victory. Mulvaney is the latest in a string of officials who have resigned since Wednesday's event. He suggested that more resignations will come. Mulvaney's decision to quit follows White House officials that include: Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Matthews, the First Lady's Chief of Staff Stephanie Grisham, and Deputy National Security Advisor Matthew Pottinger. He also said that some colleagues plan to stay "because they're worried the president might put someone worse in."
Attorney Lin Wood tweeted on Friday that Vice President Mike Pence should be arrested for treason and executed by firing squad. The staunch supporter of President Donald Trump also blamed Chief Justice John Roberts and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for the election results. According to Business Insider, Wood's remarks triggered some Republicans to issue tweets to distance themselves from him. Among them were Trump campaign lawyer Jenna Ellis, and the conservative high school student Nicholas Sandmann. In recent weeks, Wood has filed or joined lawsuits to overturn President-elect Joe Biden's election victory. Wood has also cited conspiracy theories in the past.

President-elect Joe Biden has assembled what environmentalists are calling an “all-star” team to lead his government’s efforts to curb climate change and reverse the Trump administration’s astoundingly pro-polluter legacy. Rep. Deb Haaland (D-N.M.), one of the first two Native American women elected to Congress and a strong supporter of the Green New Deal movement, would replace a former oil lobbyist if the Senate confirms her as head of the Interior Department.
Earlier in 2020 there was a massive COVID outbreak in the White House. Now, the Washington Post reports the outbreak could have been prevented. The Washington Post reports that Mark Meadows deliberately tried to hide the White House coronavirus outbreak from the public. Business Insider says the chief of staff instructed at least one fellow advisor to cover up the diagnosis. The same official revealed Meadows told them that they were "under no obligation" to reveal any COVID cases in the White House.
