WASHINGTON – Before heading to his new home base in Florida for the Thanksgiving weekend, President Donald Trump engaged Tuesday in the quasi-political tradition of turkey pardoning – and cracked jokes about efforts to impeach him.
The guests at the ceremony included two House Republicans who are among Trump's most ardent defenders, Rep. Mark Meadows of North Carolina and Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida."They have all been great warriors," Trump said of his congressional guests. At last year's event, held less than a month after Democrats won control of the U.S. House in the congressional elections, Trump wisecracked about the opposition's desire to investigate him.
Earlier in the day, Trump signed an executive order establishing a task force on missing and murdered American Indians and Alaska Natives. The president kicks off the weekend with a campaign rally Tuesday night in Sunrise which is about 50 miles southwest of Palm Beach.In a series of posts, Trump criticized a judge's decision that White House Counsel Donald McGahn must testify to Congress about claims the president tried to short-circuit the Russia investigation by former special counsel Robert Mueller. The administration is appealing the ruling.
In his tweets, Trump said he is"fighting for future Presidents" in appealing the ruling that the White House lawyer must testify.
