The January 6 attack was still dictating the news cycle on January 18, with resignations, security failures, and impeachment consequences continuing to ricochet through Washington. Trump’s last stretch in office was no longer about a transition or a policy agenda; it was about the institutional wreckage left behind after he spent weeks egging on a fantasy that the election could be reversed. The fallout was now broad enough to hit his party, his vice president, the Capitol Police, and the incoming administration all at once.
