Over a week after voters handed Democrats control of both the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives, the effects are still shaking out in Washington and beyond. The past seven days offered early clues about how the shift could reshape the final two years of President Donald Trump's term.

Among other developments, Trump sat for a high-profile interview that turned to questions of faith, the afterlife and forgiveness, and his answer is drawing attention. Meanwhile, a member of the president's Cabinet faced a push to be removed from office, though the fight may not be over.

Additionally, the White House sent a pointed warning to the Democrats preparing to take over key congressional committees.

Here are five highlights from the past week.
