I literally just read that article and I'm convinced Trump has never read The Constitution a day in his life. He seems to think none of it applies to him. I can't wait to hear what NYAG says tomorrow. Deutsche Bank turned over documents on Trump and it's about to really go down.

I don’t think it will bother trump that only pence can be there without other wh staff. He’ll have a backdrop of citizen supporters who will cheer & clap when cued.
"citizen supporters" have to be screened by Secret Service prior to being allowed on WH grounds---since that action is for Republican campaign, illegal under Hatch Act. Same goes for WH staff needing to set up chairs, bunting, traffic control, etc.

Less restricted federal employees may not:
