TRUMP GOES TO VEGAS THIS MORNING

Trump seeking to avoid gun debate during Vegas trip (pOLITICO) - The White House is seeking to delay any discussion of gun policy as it plans President Donald Trump’s trip to Las Vegas on Wednesday, following the mass shooting at an outdoor concert there earlier this week. Trump is expected to meet with victims of the Las Vegas shooting and visit an area hospital, according to a White House official. He is not expected to weigh in on any policy solutions during the trip. “With this investigation still in its early phases, we should avoid making sweeping policy decisions,” the White House official said.
