(WASHINGTON) President Donald Trump is slated to hand over control of the White House to President-elect Joe Biden in six days.
The House of Representatives on Wednesday voted to impeach Trump on article for “incitement of insurrection” for his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol making him the only president to be impeached twice.

Donald Trump Senate Trial Threatens Joe Biden s Push for Unity, Cabinet Appointments
On 1/15/21 at 7:51 AM EST
President Donald Trump s Senate impeachment trial taking place as President-elect Joe Biden s White House tenure begins could draw focus away from some of the Democrat s priorities, as he looks to chart his and the nation s path forward.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has indicated the Senate will likely not return before January 19. If the articles were sent from the House to the Senate on that day, the trial could begin January 20 coinciding with the date of Biden s inauguration.
McConnell noted the last three such trials lasted 83 days, 37 days, and 21 days respectively, meaning any such action would likely draw focus for at least several weeks at the start of Biden s term.
Donald Trump will not fly to Scotland to play golf ahead of Joe Biden s inauguration - after First Minister Nicola Sturgeon vowed to ban him from entering the country due to Covid rules.
There has been mounting speculation that the US president would visit his Turnberry golf resort in South Ayrshire to avoid seeing Mr Biden being sworn into office on January 20.
Prestwick Airport - which is situated near to the golf course - was told to expect the arrival of a US military Boeing 757 on January 19.
But it has now been revealed that Mr Trump will not be in Scotland at all.
When a US appeals court declared that Florida could make it harder for convicted felons to vote – a ruling decried by civil rights activists – the impact of President Donald Trump’s conservative judicial appointments was plain to see.
