Trump won’t be meeting with a bipartisan group of AGs in Washington this week for the National Association of Attorneys General conference, as he did last year. After being told to leave part of Monday open to come to the White House, Democratic attorneys general have been told not to expect to see the president.
“I would have liked to have had a respectful conversation with him, but unfortunately he rescinded that invitation,” Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, said on Monday. “I would have said, ‘Mr. President, it does not have to be this way, that this is a conscious choice that you and other policymakers make to quite literally do nothing and allow these murders to continue.’”
