Donald Trump awarded country music singer Toby Keith the National Medal of the Arts as he was being impeached for an unprecedented second time on Wednesday. The outgoing president presented Keith, 59, with the nation’s highest award for the arts during a ‘closed press ceremony’ in the East Room of the White House yesterday. Former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer uploaded an image to Instagram of a Trump standing next to Keith, who appears to be sporting a somber expression. The ceremony, reportedly over within ‘just minutes’, came as the House, led by Nancy Pelosi, voted to impeach Trump for a second time for his role in 'inciting insurrection' in last week’s violent riots at the Capitol. While the president was unable to post about the ceremony on social media, having been banned from multiple platforms, Keith, meanwhile, has made no mention of receiving the high presidential honor on any of his official pages. Keith, famed for his patriot hits such as ‘Courtesy of the

A Government minister claimed fish in UK waters are 'better and happier' since Brexit took place - amid growing fury at red tape costing the seafood industry millions. Commons Leader Jacob Rees-Mogg made the claim in the Commons today after days of claims that exporters have been hit by a 'perfect storm' of bureaucracy, IT problems and confusion since the EU trade agreement kicked in on January 1. There were complaints of shellfish rotting in ports as the 'disastrous' hold-ups meant they could not be sold in Europe. After SNP politicians claimed that the hold-ups were costing £1million per day, Tory Brexiteer Mr Rees-Mogg said: 'What is happening is that the Government is tackling this issue, dealing with it as quickly as possible, and the key thing is we've got our fish back. 'They're now British fish and they're better and happier fish for it.' At this the Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle intervened and noted: 'Obviously there'

Judge orders Derek Chauvin and his beauty queen wife Kellie to make public confidential documents relating to their divorce

Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who is accused of murdering George Floyd, has been ordered to make public confidential documents in his divorce proceedings. Chauvin, 44, and his beauty queen wife Kellie, 46, were ordered to send redacted versions of dossiers they filed under seal in December.
