It’s being reported now by Laura Ingraham that the students from Covington Catholic High School who’ve been subjected to death threats and other slander have now been invited to the White House to meet with Trump, as early as tomorrow:
EXCLUSIVE on the new #LauraIngrahamPodcast — the Covington Catholic students threatened by the leftist internet mob will be meeting with @realDonaldTrump at the White House as early as tomorrow. @iTunes @PodcastOne

Laura Ingraham is the only source of this information, so take that into consideration. But I think it’s probably true, as Trump himself has recently tweeted on the situation this morning:
Nick Sandmann and the students of Covington have become symbols of Fake News and how evil it can be. They have captivated the attention of the world, and I know they will use it for the good - maybe even to bring people together. It started off unpleasant, but can end in a dream!

And last night:
Looking like Nick Sandman & Covington Catholic students were treated unfairly with early judgements proving out to be false - smeared by media. Not good, but making big comeback! “New footage shows that media was wrong about teen’s encounter with Native American” @TuckerCarlson

I’m glad Trump is highlighting this by bringing these students to the White House. It’s absolutely insane that so much hatred and vitriol has been aimed at them over the phony reporting of the media.
UPDATE:
According to this CBS News White House producer, this report by Laura Ingraham isn’t true…
Senior WH official tells us that the reporting is inaccurate.The Covington Kids have not been invited. Senior WH aide says: “They are not coming tomorrow, they are not coming this week, that does not mean they are not going to come at all? I don’t know.” Says nothing is imminent. https://t.co/a5hGkSf4ar

I guess we’ll see…
UPDATE II:
Now Laura Ingraham is backtracking…
Now White House now seems to be in flux re. Covington Catholic kids. Announced any meeting would happen after shutdown. Odd as it would be less meaningful if delayed. https://t.co/RHoYVgnCl4
