President Donald Trump briefly talked to reporters before boarding a helicopter to take him to Air Force One. He touched on the guilty plea of former National Security Director Michael Flynn and the recent Senate passage of a tax bill, as well as his trip to Utah.

“We’re going to Utah — we’re going to be doing something that the state of Utah and others have wanted to be done for many, many years,” Trump told reporters this morning. “It will be one of the great, really, events in this country for a long time.
