President Trump and first lady Melania Trump made a surprise visit to the Capitol Rotunda on Monday to pay respects to former President George H. W. Bush, who is lying in state there until Wednesday.
The unannounced visit was somber, with neither Trump nor his wife saying anything. Instead, they stood near the flag-draped coffin, with Trump saluting the 41st president while Melania held her hand on her heart.
„Departure from the White House and travel to the Capitol were off the record at the request of the White House, which cited security concerns,“ a reporter who traveled with the pair wrote in a pool report.
