Trump's first term
Trump opens up about investigating Biden: "The funny thing is that he didn't pardon himself"
In his first interview since becoming president, Donald Trump opens up about investigating Joe Biden. This in an interview with Fox News profile Sean Hannity, who has described himself as a Trump friend.
Trump was asked about the ex-president's pardons of family members and whether Congress should investigate the Biden family.
- This guy went around handing out pardons to everyone, and, you know, the funny thing - maybe the sad thing - is that he didn't pardon himself.
According to The Hill, he later added that Biden had "very bad advisors".
- Someone advised Joe Biden to pardon everyone but himself.
Trump was recently convicted in one case and has been indicted in a number of others. After his own experiences, he thinks it's "very hard to say" that Biden shouldn't also be investigated, according to Time Magazine.

Votes on the inauguration
Analysis: Time to acknowledge that Trump is a historical force
Politico's John F Harris is one of the writers who has tried to explain away Donald Trump's successes for many years. He writes this himself in an analysis in the newspaper.
But describing the newly inaugurated president as a strange fluke, or his voters who cheated, no longer holds, writes Harris, who believes that Trump has a completely unique ability to create strong and lasting bonds with large groups of people.
"In other words: he is a historical force."
If Democrats want to break Trump's hold on American politics, they must realize they cannot dismiss him as a criminal or a madman, Harris continues.
"What he cannot ignore would be a genuine competition between two different visions for a better America."
In CNN, Stephen Collinson writes that Trump's first two days in office already feel like an entire term. The speed of Trump's actions has made it difficult for his opponents to know where to focus their efforts - and what to be most upset about.
But "Trump has only done the easy part so far," according to Colinson.
"Domestic and foreign crises still lurk for a president who has previously shown himself weak in such situations."

Border policy in the United States
Mexico's border cities ready to receive thousands
Mexican authorities have begun building huge tent camps with the capacity to house thousands of people after Donald Trump's promises of mass deportations, writes Reuters.
Enrique Licon works for local authorities in the city of Ciudad Juárez, where some of the giant tents are being built.
"This is unprecedented," he tells the news agency.
In the coming days, a large number of people are expected to arrive in nine border cities in northern Mexico. In addition to somewhere to sleep, they will also be given access to food, healthcare and help with ID documents. There have been a number of shelters along the border that offer shelter to migrants. Many of them are now relatively empty.
“Mass deportations in the United States and the arrival of thousands of migrants from the south could overwhelm the city of Tijuana and other border cities,” José María Garcia, the director of a shelter, told the AP.
