Summary

The Biden campaign attorneys have called Trump's claims of voter fraud "theater." The U.S. Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, ignored United States President-elect Joe Biden's win on Tuesday. He told reporters at the State Department that there will be a smooth transition to a second Trump term. The United States President-elect has called Trump's failure to concede "an embarrassment." Four senior Pentagon officials have been fired or resigned within the past couple of days. The recent changes came after President Donald Trump fired Defense Secretary Mark Esper, on Monday. Sources tell CNN, there is growing uncertainty at the Pentagon about whether Trump will fire more top officials. The U.S. Supreme court signals the Affordable Care Act will survive its latest challenge. The justices' held oral arguments Tuesday. It appeared the court was poised to again reject a Republican-backed attempt to kill the program. A postal worker in Pennsylvania who claimed there was voter fraud has recanted the allegations. This is according to a statement from the Democratic House Oversight Committee. The postal worker previously claimed they were ordered to backdate mail-in ballots after election day in Pennsylvania. Republicans have cited this claim as evidence of widespread voter fraud, following Joe Biden's presidency win.
