This is the best summary I could come up with:


Two weeks ago Sir Jeffrey Donaldson stood in the shadow of the White House like a leader liberated.

After a very different interview over many hours, Sir Jeffrey was charged with rape and other sexual offences dating back many years.

Shortly after his release from Antrim PSNI station Sir Jeffrey informed the party of the charges he now faced.

A DUP party officer meeting was quickly called for Friday morning and a letter from Jeffrey Donaldson was shared.

But the statement did confirm Jeffrey Donaldson's suspension from the party membership and Gavin Robinson's appointment as interim leader.

A bigger challenge for Gavin Robinson will be managing those DUP MPs opposed to the deal he negotiated and the party's decision to return to Stormont.
