The White House Press Secretary released a new statement on Tuesday following Donald Trump’s decision to disinvite the Philadelphia Eagles to the White House. Unlike Trump’s original statement, this one attempts to offer a timeline of events between the two sides.
After extensive discussions with the Eagles organization, which began in February, the team accepted an invitation from the President to attend a June 5 celebration of their victory in Super Bowl LII at the White House.
On Thursday, May 31, the team notified the White House of 81 individuals, including players, coaches, management, and support personnel, who would attend the event.
