House Speaker Mike Johnson ordered flags at the U.S. Capitol to fly at full-staff during
Donald Trump’s inauguration after the president-elect complained about the flags being lowered.
Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, overrode a White House proclamation that flags on all public grounds fly at half-staff for a month
in honor of former President Jimmy Carter, who died on Dec. 29. Johnson said Tuesday that flags would be at full-staff on Inauguration Day Monday before they are lowered back to half-staff the next day.
