Former President Trump will travel to the nation's capital on Thursday to take part in a series of meetings with Republicans from both the House and Senate, and attend an event with top business executives in America. The former president's meetings with congressional Republicans will be 'looking ahead at the policies that will save the nation,' a senior Trump campaign official told Fox News Digital.
An invitation sent to senior House GOP aides on Tuesday morning, obtained by Fox News Digital, showed that Trump is coming on a joint invitation from House leaders – Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., and House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y. House GOP leaders have been almost completely in lockstep with Trump since Johnson took the speaker's gavel in late October.
After the roundtable event, Trump will meet with Senate Republicans at 12:30 p.m. A Trump campaign source told Fox News Digital that Trump's meeting with Republicans from the upper chamber will be closed to the press and take place at the National Republican Senatorial Committee headquarters. Senate GOP Conference Chair John Barrasso's office confirmed to Fox News Digital on Monday that Trump would address Senate Republicans this week.
The former president's trip also comes as he continues to face a steady stream of legal battles. The deadline for Trump's legal team to file any post-trial motions in New York v. Trump is set for the end of the day Thursday. After meeting with congressional Republicans on Thursday, Trump will have another sitdown with Johnson and NRCC Chairman Richard Hudson, R-N.C., from his Mar-a-Lago resort on Monday, a source familiar with planning told Fox News Digital.
