Pence cancels speech to the Homebuilders’ Association

Vice President Mike Pence canceled a speech to the National Association of Homebuilders, scheduled for Wednesday morning at the Washington Marriott Wardman Park Hotel.

Instead, Pence plans to report directly to the White House, vice presidential press secretary Marc Lotter tweeted.

Press conference on emoluments lawsuit postponed

A scheduled press conference by Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) has been postponed. The senators planned to announce a lawsuit against Trump regarding his potential violation of the Constitution's foreign emoluments clause, due to the president's business interests.
