Marjorie Taylor Greene says she will soon meet with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago after the former president expressed "100 per cent support" of the Georgia congresswoman. She will need his support as Democrats moved to kick the controversial representative out of Congress.

As Trump continues to meet with Republicans to plan his next move, the White House says it still hasn't made a decision in its review on whether to provide him with security briefings as is usually the granted to former presidents.

Joe Biden, meanwhile, met with 10 Republican senators who proposed spending about a third of the $1.9 trillion the president is seeking for coronavirus aid.

The White House invitation came hours after the lawmakers sent Biden a letter on Sunday urging him to negotiate rather than push the relief package though by relying solely on Democratic votes.

Across the pond, Scottish lawmakers are mulling whether its government should investigate Trump over how he purchased his golf resorts in the country.

The opposition-led vote at the Scottish parliament is aimed at pressuring the first minister Nicola Sturgeon to seek an Unexplained Wealth Order - a legal mechanism obtained from the courts that compels those suspected of serious financial corruption to explain the source of their wealth.
