Trump hosting GOP lawmakers for White House dinner: report
President Trump this week is reportedly hosting six Capitol Hill Republicans for dinner at the White House.
The dinner will be held Tuesday night, according to Politico.
The Republicans who will be attending the dinner include Sens. Marco Rubio (Fla.), Cory Gardner (Colo.), Tom Cotton (Ark.) and Todd Young (Ind.), as well as Reps. Lee Zeldin (N.Y.) and Francis Rooney (Fla.), Politico reported.
Rooney was a mega-fundraiser for Republicans including former President George W. Bush and 2012 GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
{mosads}The dinner comes after Trump this past weekend reignited the debate over his travel ban in the wake of the London terror attack that left at least seven people dead and dozens more wounded.
The president on Monday sent out a series of tweets about the intent of his blocked executive order on immigration now being appealed to the Supreme Court.
Trump said in the tweets that the Justice Department should have stayed with his original travel ban as opposed to the revised version, which he called a “watered down, politically correct version they submitted to the S.C.”
The dinner will come days before James Comey, who was ousted as FBI director by Trump last month, will testify publicly before the Senate Intelligence Committee.
