The US President-elect’s inauguration ceremony will be held at the US Capitol building in Washington, DC. It will coincide with Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a federal holiday celebrating the civil rights leader’s legacy.
Earlier, TimesNow.com.ng reported that a judge in New York again denied Trump the ability to dismiss his hush money conviction due to his election victory.
The judge, Juan Merchan, ordered Trump to appear in court for sentencing on Friday, January 10, 2025.
Merchan signalled in a written decision that he would sentence the former and future president to what is known as a conditional discharge, in which a case gets dismissed if a defendant avoids re-arrest.
