Donald Trump's family will likely be less formally involved in White House business in his second term as they were in the first, but some will remain key to his political operation as unofficial advisors.

Here is a look at how Trump's wife, five children and other relatives will play a role in the new administration after Monday's US presidential inauguration.

Embattled New York City Mayor Eric Adams said Friday that his Florida lunch with President-elect Donald Trump centered strictly around U.S. and world affairs – with not a peep mentioned about his upcoming federal bribery trial.

But not all were immediately convinced that Adams did not bring up the possibility of a pardon as he dined with Trump, who is set to become the first convicted felon to enter the White House.

The Wall Street Journal is out with a new poll showing that voters somewhat approve of President-elect Donald Trump's agenda — but not all of it and not exactly.

And some analysts have nothing but contempt for these findings.

Americans will be hit by a "Trump tariffs tax" if the US president-elect increases customs duties on Canadian products, the Canadian foreign minister said Friday, pledging a hard-hitting response in any trade war.

Donald Trump, who returns to the White House next week, has said he plans to slap 25 percent tariffs on Canadian imports as part of his economic and foreign policy plans that also target Mexico, China and other trade partners.

Republicans were reportedly resorting to "magical thinking" to push through an extension of President-elect Donald Trump's 2017 tax cuts, set to expire this year.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, signed into law by Trump in December 2017, was the largest tax code overhaul in decades, making sweeping changes to individual and corporate income taxes.

President-elect Donald Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against CBS News for alleged "deceptive conduct" may end up with him raking in a significant sum of cash in exchange for the incoming administration green-lighting a proposed merger.

That's according to a Wall Street Journal article published Friday, which reported that executives at the network are mulling whether to offer a settlement to the president-elect as a gesture of goodwill. CBS parent company Paramount is reportedly hoping a settlement will lead to its potential merger with Skydance Media being approved by federal regulators.

A Democratic lawmaker warned people who bought hotel rooms and flights ahead of President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration to get their money back as "most tickets will only be souvenirs" at this point.

A polar vortex is descending on the nation's capital, which is set to send temperatures plunging into single digits Sunday into Monday. In response, Trump said Friday that his inauguration on Monday will be moved indoors due to expected frigid weather.

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace was up close and personal with former Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) when she worked for the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), and even she misses Palin over the likes of Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD).

Wallace and her panel discussed Noem's confirmation hearing on Friday, focusing on what she called a "lack of competence" from Noem.

Democrats are being urged to come out swinging against Donald Trump before he can make his inauguration speech.

Progressive commentator Brian Beutler, who writes "Off Message," says that Democrats aren't helping anyone if their official comments apologize for high grocery prices.

The new ruling from the conservative-dominated U.S. Supreme Court forcing the sale of TikTok is likely to become a bigger political problem for Donald Trump, as the shutdown will occur just as he takes office.

However, analysts say that he should be held responsible since three of the justices who upheld the government's policy on TikTok were appointed by him during his first term.

A decision by Donald Trump and his team to move his inaugural festivities indoors due to expected cold weather on Monday both infuriated and disappointed some of his visiting MAGA fans who voiced their complaints on MSNBC.

With the official proceedings being moved to the Capitol with its limited seating, four of the president's supporters got the bad news on the street with one man bluntly complaining, "I don't like it."

According to MSNBC's Chris Jansing, the expected weather on Monday will actually be warmer than MAGA fans have experienced at some of his rallies.

Four men who are already in town to watch Trump's swearing in made their feelings about the change known on national TV.

'Well, I don't like it," stated one man wearing a black MAGA hat. "I mean, we came all the way to Washington from Oklahoma and, you know, now we're not going to get to see it?"

Speaking for himself and his friend wearing a knit Trump beanie he added, "We're like, we might as well have stayed at home and watched it on TV."

Another man complained, "It's actually something that we've been looking forward to for historical purposes and being a part of it that's once in a lifetime" as his companion agreed and added, "Absolutely."

"We made all the plans, all the arrangements to come up and be a part of this event and all of a sudden to hear that it's being moved indoors," he added as his friend chimed in with, "We're prepared for the weather –– it's not a problem."

Donald Trump has been backed into a corner on TikTok before he's even entered office, according to a legal expert.

Congress has banned the Chinese-owned social media app effective Sunday if the company cannot find a U.S. buyer, and the president-elect's options are limited after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the law.

President-elect Donald Trump has put maintaining his massive 2017 tax cut at the top of his economic agenda, but there are indications that Republicans will have to pay for them with massive spending cuts to the federal budget if they want to avoid triggering major interest rate increases on American debt.

Bloomberg reports that United States treasury yields are significantly higher now than they were in 2017 when Trump's first term began, which allowed him and Republicans to pass tax cuts without making any offsetting spending cuts that could have been politically painful.
