Live updates: Trump expected to sign flurry of new military orders

President Donald Trump’s first week in office has been eventful, as he’s followed through with a series of steps to remake the federal government. 

Trump has done everything from using executive orders to impose hiring freezes and crack down on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, to suggesting that he wants to shutter the Federal Emergency Management Agency and leave disaster recovery up to individual states affected by major emergencies.
