Donald Trump took the presidential oath for a second time at the Capitol.
WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump returned from a campaign-style rally at a Washington, D.C., arena to the White House to sign more executive orders, including a sweeping one that pardoned those convicted of storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Earlier after taking the oath of office and events at the Capitol, Trump spoke to a roaring crowd at Capital One Arena, where he also signed several executive orders.
Now that he's finished signing the orders, Trump is attending several inaugural balls.

Next, the Trumps will see off President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
In a unifying moment, Carrie Underwood sang "America the Beautiful" after Trump's defiant inauguration speech.
The country star, who was standing in front of Biden, performed a capella after technical difficulties, and the crowd joined in. Biden, Hillary Clinton and Doug Emhoff were among those singing with her.
"Many people thought it was impossible for me to stage such a historic political comeback. But as you see today, here I am," he said. "The American people have spoken."
Trump's long road back to the White House included four indictments, one conviction, two assassination attempts and a campaign of ups and downs.
Trump, who has been convicted by a jury of his peers and was indicted four times after his first term, again contended he was politically prosecuted.
"Never again will the immense power of the state be weaponized to persecute political opponents," he said. "Something I know something about. We will not allow that to happen. It will not happen again. Under my leadership, we will restore fair, equal and impartial justice under the constitutional rule of law."
The two cases against him were dropped after he won reelection, with prosecutors citing longstanding Justice Department policy that a sitting president cannot be charged with a crime.
