The State Department seemed to be getting a bit ahead of itself on its website on Monday. That's when the department published a bizarre notice on its website saying President Trump’s term was ending a full nine days ahead of schedule. According to Gizmodo, the notice gave rise to speculation that something was going on at the agency. However, two current-serving diplomats with knowledge of the situation reported the erroneous notice was the result of a disgruntled employee. For at least an hour, the State Department’s biography page for Donald J. Trump claimed his presidency is ending in matter of hours, at approximately 5:40 p.m. Later, the same page redirected to a 404 page saying the site was 'currently experiencing technical difficulties.'
An ardent supporter and ally of President Donald Trump, Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida has contracted the novel coronavirus COVID-19. Gaetz was recently re-elected to his third term in the US House of Representatives. Business Insider reports the conservative congressman from Florida's panhandle region was initially skeptical of the virus. In what Democrats slammed as making light of the highly contagious disease, Gaetz wore a gas mask on the House floor. Gaetz is not alone. On Friday, President Trump's Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows, also announced he had tested positive for COVID-19.

Former President Donald Trump granted extended Secret Service protections to his four adult children. This is also extended to their spouses, according to Business Insider. He made this move before he left the White House in a last effort of wielding power. This expensive, full-time security detail is an unexpected move for most. The extended security detail could cost taxpayers millions of dollars. Given the amount of traveling that the Trump children do, the cost could be astronomical.
(CNN)US President Joe Biden will rightly spend his first days in office addressing the myriad domestic crises that he has inherited from his predecessor, Donald Trump. However, the transfer of power in the most powerful elected office in the world usually means a change in foreign policy, too. And if President Biden's inaugural address is anything to go by, the global focus for the next four years will chiefly be to restore the world's trust in America after the chaotic foreign policy of the one-term Trump administration.
