Good morning to our readers following the US political landscape. In his first interview since his presidential election victory, Donald Trump told NBC News on Sunday that he intends to disrupt numerous established governing practices once he takes office. The president-elect revealed plans to pardon many involved in the January 6 insurrection and suggested that Liz Cheney, along with other members of the bipartisan House committee that investigated the Capitol riots, “should be jailed.” This sparked a strong rebuttal from Cheney, who was removed from her position in Congress two years ago due to her dissent from Trump.

“Let’s be clear: Donald Trump tried to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and seize control,” Cheney stated in a response, calling for the special counsel, Jack Smith, to disclose the evidence he has collected regarding Trump’s efforts to overturn the election results. It remains to be seen if other former committee members will share their thoughts today.

Here’s a look at what else is happening today:

• Joe Biden is scheduled to address the Tribal Nations Summit in Washington DC at 3:45 PM ET, followed by a gathering with members of Congress at their Holiday Ball at 6 PM.

• Andy Kim from New Jersey and Adam Schiff from California, both Democrats, are set to be sworn into the Senate today after resigning from their House seats to assume these new roles.

• Congress is actively working on a significant year-end defense spending bill, which will likely be one of the final actions taken before the new Republican majority takes over next year.
