Winston Churchill is back in the Oval Office.
On his first day in office, President Trump brought back a bust of the legendary British prime minister to the West Wing, after President Obama had removed it. Mr. Obama replaced it with a bust of Martin Luther King Jr.
Reporters who were summoned to the Oval Office Friday night to witness Mr. Trump signing an executive order noticed the Churchill bust had been returned to the Oval Office.

Mr. Obama refuted that, saying he had moved the bust to a place of prominence in his private office in the White House residence.
