Former President Donald Trump shakes hands with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) as he arrives to meet with Republican lawmakers at the National Republican Senatorial Committee headquarters in Washington on Thursday, June 13, 2024. On Thursday, three and a half years after a throng of his supporters fueled by his false claims of a stolen election attacked the Capitol, Trump returned to the nation's capital under much different circumstances -- to flex his dominance over a political and business establishment that has been forced to come to terms with him.
