President-elect Donald Trump made a victor’s return to Washington on Wednesday, visiting the White House for an Oval Office meeting with President Joe Biden. The two men committed to a smooth transition of power in a meeting that is seen as a traditional courtesy. Republicans have elected Sen. John Thune of South Dakota as the next Senate Majority Leader on Wednesday, replacing long-time leader Sen. Mitch McConnell as President-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House. In a secret ballot vote, Thune beat out two other competitors, Sens. John Cornyn of Texas and Rick Scott of Florida. A U.S. government worker has been charged with leaking classified information assessing Israel's earlier plans to attack Iran, according to court papers filed Wednesday. The man, identified as Asif William Rahman, was arrested by the FBI this week in Cambodia and was due to make his first court appearance in Guam.
