President Trump will not attend McCain’s services

There will be one notable absence from McCain’s services, which President Donald Trump does not plan to attend. Trump and McCain frequently feuded, and McCain offered a veiled rebuke of Trump’s policies in a farewell letter released Monday.

“Despite our differences on policy and politics, I respect Senator John McCain’s service to our country and, in his honor, have signed a proclamation to fly the flag of the United States at half-staff until the day of his interment,” Trump said in a statement Monday afternoon, after facing criticism for raising the flag at the White House back to full staff Monday morning.

“I have asked Vice President Mike Pence to offer an address at the ceremony honoring Senator McCain at the United States Capitol this Friday,” Trump said in the statement, adding that he asked Chief of Staff John Kelly, Secretary of Defense James Mattis and National Security Advisor John Bolton to represent the Administration at McCain’s services.

His intimates have informed the White House that their current plan for his funeral is for Vice President Mike Pence to attend the service to be held in Washington’s National Cathedral but not President Trump, with whom Mr. McCain has had a rocky relationship.
