In Town Pool Report #5

From Judd Deere:

Today, President Donald J. Trump will lead a roundtable discussion with several Americans whose lives were helped, and in some cases saved, by law enforcement. He will also welcome individuals making selfless contributions to support police officers in their communities. Their accounts demonstrate the courageous, live-saving actions law enforcement officers take every day, and underscore the dangerous effect that defunding the police would have on the lives of everyday Americans.

The following individuals are expected to attend:

The White House
President Donald J. Trump
Vice President Mike Pence
William Barr, United States Attorney General
Brooke Rollins, Assistant to the President and Director of the Domestic Policy Council
Ja'Ron Smith, Deputy Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy and Deputy Director of the Office of American Innovation
Tim Pataki, Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Public Liaison
William Crozer, Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Director of Intergovernmental Affairs
