News Wrap: Congress certifies election of Donald Trump

Clip: 1/6/2017 | 4m 36s

The election of Trump was certified when Congress tallied the Electoral College votes.

In our news wrap Friday, the election of Donald Trump was certified when Congress tallied the Electoral College votes. Vice President Biden presided as a number of House Democrats objected, but none had the support of a senator, which the rules require. Also, Mr. Trump disputed reports that U.S. taxpayers will pay for a wall on the Mexican border, insisting Mexico would reimburse the cost.
