McCain, an Arizona Republican who is battling life-threatening brain cancer, has told the White House that he wants Vice President Mike Pence to attend his funeral at Washington’s National Cathedral, but not Trump, according to a New York Times report citing McCain’s close friends.
“Well, he’s the president of the United States and he’s a very good man,” Hatch said. “But it’s up to [McCain]. I think John should have his own wishes fulfilled with regard to who attends the funeral.”
