It’s been a year since Donald Trump’s return to the White House. In a lengthy briefing to mark the occasion, he laid out his achievements and ambitions - at the centre of it all is Greenland.

Could we see the Clintons in court? Former president Bill Clinton and former first lady Hillary have refused to appear before a Congressional committee. They risk being in contempt of Congress - a jailable offence.
