Donald Trump's return to the Oval Office was historic, but there were surprises still to come

ABC  

Welcome back to your weekly update on US politics, where North America bureau chief Jade Macmillan catches you up on the biggest post-election developments. It's a White House tradition stretching back decades but the Oval Office meeting between Joe Biden and Donald Trump was nothing short of remarkable. The billionaire who became so central to Trump's election campaign will lead a "department of government efficiency", aimed at cutting red tape and restructuring federal agencies. But Trump's decision to nominate Florida congressman Matt Gaetz as attorney-general — the position in charge of the DOJ — would have sent shock waves through its Washington headquarters. "Because he will implement Donald Trump's transition of the Department of Justice from an agency that stands up for all of us, to an agency that is simply an arm of the White House designed to persecute and prosecute Trump's political enemies."
