THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Today is Monday, Jan. 20, the 20th day of 2020. There are 346 days left in the year.
TODAY’S HIGHLIGHT IN HISTORY:

ON THIS DATE:>>In 1649, King Charles
I of England went on trial, accused of high treason (he was found guilty and executed by month’s end).
>>In 1801, Secretary of State John Marshall was nominated by President John Adams to be chief justice of the United States (he was sworn in on Feb. 4, 1801).
>>In 1937, President Frank-lin D. Roosevelt became the fi rst chief executive to be in-augurated on Jan. 20 instead of March 4.
>>In 1942, Nazi offi cials held the notorious Wannsee conference, during which they arrived at their “fi nal solution” that called for ex-terminating Europe’s Jews.
