Trump Backs Out Of First On-Camera Appearance Post-Impeachment Trial

Twice-impeached former President Donald Trump backed out of a press conference at the last minute on Monday.

According to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, reporters who had gathered in Palm Beach were told by staff to expect the former president to make a statement on camera, but Trump apparently pulled the plug at the last minute.

“Though his staff initially believed Trump would make a statement in front of cameras following his second impeachment trial, that no longer appears to be the plan,” Collins revealed on Twitter.

“Reporters stationed in Palm Beach have been told a statement from the former president is no longer expected,” she added.
