Inside the White House on inauguration day
A staffer's personal story of entering the West Wing.
As oaths and speeches ring out across Capitol Hill on inauguration day, we take you inside the White House where unseen junior staffers are scrambling to prepare for four years in office. And we ask whether Donald Trump鈥檚 second term, armed with a Republican-controlled Congress, is set to be more effective than his first.
Jonny Dymond speaks with Katie Johnson, President Barack Obama鈥檚 former personal assistant, about what it was like to enter the White House on inauguration day in 2009. Jonny also speaks with Courtney Subramanian about how Donald Trump's second presidential term might differ to his first.
