Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Jack Spear. President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump are planning to meet at the White House tomorrow, as NPR's Mara Liason reports it's a tradition for the nation's outgoing and incoming leaders to meet.
After a presidential campaign that was anything but normal, President Biden and President-elect Trump will do what is usually done after an election. Trump refused to meet with Biden after Trump lost in 2020. In the following January, he encouraged his supporters to try to overturn the results of that election, sparking a violent assault on the U.S. Capitol.
But White House officials now say Biden wants to honor a norm and show the country what an efficient, peaceful transfer of power looks like. Biden also says he's assured Trump he would direct his entire administration to work with the president-elect's team.
Traditionally, the outcoming and incoming first ladies have tea while their husbands meet, but Melania Trump has reportedly decided not to come to the White House tomorrow. Mara Liason, NPR News.

NPR's Nina Totenberg reports.
Meadows is one of 18 people indicted in Georgia on charges of illegally conspiring to keep then-President Trump in office in 2020 and Trump was indicted on similar charges, but the Supreme Court earlier this year granted him broad immunity for prosecution for his official acts. Meadows sought to leverage that decision to apply to him.
contending that the charges against him should be moved from state to federal court because he was a federal officer at the time the alleged conspiracy took place. But a federal appeals court ruled that Meadows is no longer a federal official and that even if he were, his actions were not related to his official duties.
