特朗普宣布新的弹劾法律团队
前总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)弹劾法律团队的五名成员全部辞职一天后，一个新的团队已经选出。
根据特朗普周日的一份声明，审判律师大卫·舍恩(David Schoen)和小布鲁斯·L·卡斯特(Bruce L. Castor)将领导他的弹劾辩护团队。
“很荣幸代表第45任总统唐纳德·特朗普和美国宪法，”舍恩在一份声明中说。
“我认为代表第45任总统是一种特权。我们宪法的力量将受到前所未有的考验。卡斯特补充说:“它结实而有弹性。"这是一份为时代而写的文件，它将永远战胜党派之争."
消息人士告诉美国广播公司新闻，特朗普的前团队由南卡罗来纳州律师布奇·鲍尔斯领导，他们辞职的部分原因是对如何为特朗普辩护存在分歧。鉴于特朗普现在是前总统，律师们原本计划就举行审判的合宪性进行辩论。
参议院的审判定于2月8日开始。

我们可能最终会看到一位总统在两党新冠肺炎法案上食言:维加
团结是拜登竞选的重点，但由于他的冠状病毒救助计划连一票都没有获得共和党人的支持，这意味着什么，美国广播公司《本周》联合主播玛莎·拉德达兹问白宫高级记者塞西莉亚·维加。
“自从他上任这几天以来，我们几乎每天都听到这样的话。他说，如果唐纳德·特朗普离开，共和党人会有这种顿悟。维加周日表示:“他还在一次电话会议上告诉支持者，他最终会收回自己的话，但他相信共和党人基本上会回心转意。”。"玛莎，我们最终可能会看到总统食言."

民主党人有机会推翻即将退休的俄亥俄州参议员罗布·波特曼的席位吗？
俄亥俄州参议员罗布·波特曼(Rob Portman)退休的决定为2022年争夺参议院控制权开辟了一个新的主要战场。但是在前总统唐纳德·特朗普去年11月轻松拿下七叶树州之后，民主党人有机会扳回这个席位吗？
五点三十八分的内特·西尔弗给了美国广播公司的《本周》一个提前的预测。
“民主党有机会，但不是很好的机会……这可能取决于共和党有一个非常弱的候选人或民主党，一个非常强的候选人，”他周日说。

Biden withdraws Trump freeze to some government program funding
President Joe Biden is again undoing actions undertaken by the Trump administration. In a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Sunday, Biden announced he was withdrawing 73 proposed rescissions previously sent to Congress by former President Donald Trump on Jan. 14.
The action would unfreeze $27.4 billion in cuts to previously approved funding for government programming.
"The withdrawals are for the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, the Interior, Justice, Labor, State, and the Treasury, as well as the African Development Foundation, the Commission of Fine Arts, the Corporation for National and Community Service, the District of Columbia, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Inter-American Foundation, the Millennium Challenge Corporation, the National Endowments for the Arts and Humanities, the National Gallery of Art, the Peace Corps, the Presidio Trust, the United States Agency for International Development, the United States Army Corps of Engineers, the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, and the Legislative Branch," according to a statement from the Biden administration.

Trump announces new impeachment legal team
A day after all five of former President Donald Trump's impeachment legal team quit, a new team has been selected.
Trial lawyers David Schoen and Bruce L. Castor, Jr. will lead his impeachment defense team, according to a statement from Trump Sunday.
“It is an honor to represent the 45th President, Donald J. Trump, and the United States Constitution,” Schoen said in a statement.
“I consider it a privilege to represent the 45th President. The strength of our Constitution is about to be tested like never before in our history. It is strong and resilient," Castor added. "A document written for the ages, and it will triumph over partisanship yet again, and always.”
Trump's former team, which was led by South Carolina lawyer Butch Bowers, resigned in part because of disagreements over how to mount Trump’s defense, sources told ABC News. The lawyers had planned to argue the constitutionality of holding a trial given Trump is now a former president.
The Senate trial is scheduled to begin on the week of Feb. 8.

'We may end up seeing a president eating his words' on bipartisan COVID-19 bill: Vega
Unity was the focus of Biden's campaign, but absent gaining even one Republican vote for his coronavirus relief package, what does that mean going forward, ABC's "This Week" Co-anchor Martha Raddatz asked Senior White House Correspondent Cecilia Vega.
"It's something we've heard almost every day since he's been in office for the last few days. He said that there would be this epiphany by Republicans if Donald Trump left. He also, on a conference call, told supporters at one point that he would -- could end up eating his words but that he believed Republicans essentially would come around," Vega said Sunday. "Martha, we may end up seeing the president eating his words on this."

The Powerhouse Roundtable breaks down the latest news on "This Week."
"The Biden team is at a crossroads right now. They've got to decide whether it is bipartisanship and unity that prevails or whether they're going to potentially go at it alone and just forego this effort of unity," Vega continued. "It is looking more and more like they're going to end up going at it alone."

Do Democrats have a shot at flipping retiring Ohio Sen. Rob Portman's seat?
Ohio's Sen. Rob Portman's decision to retire opened a major new battleground in the fight for Senate control in 2022. But after former President Donald Trump easily carried the buckeye state last November, do Democrats have a shot at flipping the seat?
FiveThirtyEight's Nate Silver gave ABC's "This Week" an early forecast.
"Democrats have a chance, it's just not a very good chance … it probably depends on the GOP having a really weak candidate or Democrats, a very strong one," he said Sunday.
