Participant at the White House Hanukkah party tells me President Trump is not scheduled to come out to light the menorah or address the crowd.
But at least attendees got some glatt kosher dijon rack of lamb and sautéed mushrooms, per source
Several participants tell me via text they were caught by surprise that the president is not coming out. Only admin official that attended was Treasury Secretary Mnuchin, who stopped by for a few minutes to chat.
VIDEO: Trump tells the crowd at the Hanukkah party that with the help of “certain very important people, if they have wisdom and if they have courage, we are going to win this election.” — remarks followed with loud chants of “four more years.”
Trump told crowd contesting the election is “an historic fight — it’s really for the soul of our country — because if somebody wins an election by a lot and they take the election away and they give it to people that shouldn’t be there, I think that’s a problem for our country.”
Trump spoke for 6 minutes. Only mention about Hanukkah was at start when he said, “I want to wish everyone a very Happy Hanukkah.” The rest was about the election
