Rep. Jim Jordan lost his first bid for the speakership. He received 200 votes, but needed at least 217 to clinch the gavel.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, nominated by Democrats, received 212 votes. Twenty lawmakers voted for someone else.
Rep. Kevin McCarthy, toppled by a small group of GOP hard-liners on Oct. 3, voted for Jordan to be his successor. #politics #news #housespeaker

Despite the White House's assurances last month that the president had no intentions of pardoning his son, the announcement came through on Sunday evening that he had pardoned him.
In a statement, he said, "Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter," for what he called a "miscarriage of justice."
