The House of Representatives remained out of session while the government shutdown entered its fourth week with no end in sight. Besides the daily dueling news conferences, this week also featured the nationwide “No Kings” protests against the Trump administration and the demolition of the East Wing of the White House. Here are the images captured by CQ Roll Call photojournalists this week.
