Summary

President-elect Trump returned to Capitol Hill this week, paying his respects at former President Jimmy Carter's funeral on Thursday and meeting with Senate Republicans to ensure they're on the same page about how best to pass the President-elect's agenda. Meanwhile, Americans have watched in shock as wildfires rage across Southern California — causing the destruction of more than 10,000 structures and forcing over 180,000 residents to leave their homes. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram breaks down the week, from what's happening on Capitol Hill to what aid California may receive following these horrific events. President Biden is wrapping up his final weeks in office with some big moves, including banning drilling on millions of acres along U.S. coasts, releasing prisoners from Guantanamo Bay, and blocking a Japanese company from merging with US Steel. Former State Department Spokeswoman for the Obama Administration Marie Harf discusses how President Biden's final actions in office will impact how people remember his legacy. Later, former Republican House Intelligence Chairman Jason Chaffetz explains how these final days for President Biden could open up more problems for President-elect Trump.
