President Trump will not attend an event at his resort at Mar-a-Lago Friday night if the government shuts down, according to a White House official.
The president and first lady Melania Trump are scheduled to depart the White House for the Trump resort in Florida at 4:10 p.m. on Friday, but a White House official told CNN that the president’s schedule will be amended if a shutdown looks likely.
The White House official said Trump’s schedule Friday is being adjusted so that the president can stay behind in Washington, D.C. until the spending bill has passed the Senate.
“He can’t go until it’s done,” a White House official was quoted as saying.
NEW: The President will NOT go to Florida until a bill to fund the government is passed, a White House spokesperson says.
