President Trump and first lady Melania Trump will soon depart the White House and head to West Palm Beach, Florida, for the weekend.

It was busy and newsy week at the White House and on Capitol Hill. Let's look at what happened:

Monday: The President and first lady spoke in New Hampshire about the opioid crisis. He proposed the death penalty for drug dealers and "very bad commercials" to scare kids off drugs. After Trump lashed out at special counsel Robert Mueller's team over the weekend, Republicans warned Trump not to fire Mueller.

Tuesday: Trump said he congratulated Russian President Vladimir Putin on his recent election win, even though he was warned not to do so.

Wednesday: Trump, in a series of tweets, called out Mueller, continuing his recent aggressive attacks on the Russia probe.

Thursday: The morning started off with news that John Dowd, Trump's lead lawyer handling the response to the Russia investigation, had resigned. Trump later unveiled new tariffs on Chinese goods, as a result the Dow plunged more than 700 points. Later that night, Trump took to Twitter to announce that he was replacing H.R. McMaster as national security adviser with former US ambassador and Fox News analyst John Bolton. Former Playboy model Karen McDougal, in an interview with CNN, confirmed that she had a 10-month sexual relationship with Trump before he was President, saying they were together "many dozens of times."

Friday: Congress passed a $1.3 trillion spending bill just after midnight. This morning, Trump threatened to veto the bill. But, in a surprise news conference this afternoon, Trump signed the bill, saying he had "no choice" because of the funds it provides to the military.
