House Speaker Nancy Pelosi cancelled the president’s original address on January 29, citing “security concerns” due to the government shutdown. This–despite the fact that both Secret Service and the Department of Homeland Security contradicted her claims and stated the agencies could handle securing the event.
The speech has been rescheduled for February 5.
In a letter to Speaker Pelosi, Trump wrote, “It is my great honor to accept. We have a great story to tell and yet, great goals to achieve!”
