A portrait of President Donald Trump hanging at the Colorado state Capitol will be taken down after he claimed it was "purposefully distorted," state officials said Monday. House Democrats said in a statement that the oil painting would be taken down at the request of Republican leaders in the Legislature.

President Donald Trump's portrait no longer hangs at the Colorado state Capitol. The portrait was removed at the request of Republican leaders in the Legislature after the president claimed it was “purposefully distorted.
