Good Friday morning.
Here is what’s on the president’s agenda today:
- In the morning, President Donald J. Trump will receive his daily intelligence briefing.
- Later in the afternoon, the president will depart the White House en route to Camp David where he will participate in a Congressional Republican Leadership Retreat.
I have a condensed version of the Briefing for you this morning.
