Supporters of President Trump's campaign were seated to hear from several speakers, the last of which was of course Donald Trump Jr. Government officials say that many people in attendance are the same people who have been working in favor for the Trump campaign through the summer and onwards. Speeches like this one can be considered a kind of motivation for some.

The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected President Donald Trump's effort to end the DACA program. The justices rejected administration arguments that the eight-year-old Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program is illegal and that courts have no role to play in reviewing the decision to end DACA. The Obama-era program offers legal protections to young immigrants brought to the United States illegally as children. The decision was 5 to 4 with Chief Justice John Roberts joining the more liberal members of the court. While this decision focuses powers of the executive office, Ohio Senator Rob Portman thinks the future of the DACA program needs to be run through Congress.

The Trump administration announced plans last week to roll back on certain school lunch standards that were originally proposed by former first lady Michelle Obama back in 2010. The new standards would allow schools more flexibility on fruit and vegetable serving sizes.

The impeachment trial of President Donald Trump has opened in the U.S. Senate. All the senators swore to an Oath of Impartial Justice as jurors for only the 3rd Impeachment trial in United States history. Chief Justice John Roberts presided over the proceedings and all of the senators, including Sherrod Brown and Rob Portman, signed the oath book. We talked Portman in between Senate proceedings about what he expects from the impeachment trial.

As public hearings are set to begin next week into President Trump's phone call with the Ukraine leader, the Republican leadership is looking at making a move to put Jim Jordan on the committee conducting the hearings. There have been reports that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy would temporarily re-assign the Ohio congressman to the intelligence committee during the upcoming hearings. Jordan is currently the ranking member of the House oversight committee and has been an outspoken opponent of the Democratic party moving forward with the impeachment inquiry.

The House's Ukraine investigation will largely center in the intelligence committee and the chairman says they're already reaching out witnesses and planning subpoenas. Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff from California says more hearings are possible and that the whistleblower wants to testify. Schiff pledges to proceeds "swiftly" but some House Republicans including 4th District Congressman Jim Jordan are blasting the whistleblower report as an intelligence community attempt to undercut President Trump.
