President Trump is planning to hold a 2020 campaign rally in North Carolina on July 17, the day former special counsel Robert Mueller will testify before the House Judiciary and Intelligence committees.
The “Keep America Great” rally will take place in Greenville at 7pm on the campus of East Carolina University.
“President Trump looks forward to returning to North Carolina and sharing the successes of the Trump presidency,” Michael Glassner, Chief Operating Officer of Donald J. Trump for President Inc., said in a statement.
“North Carolina has one of the hottest economies in the nation, and that is directly attributable to the pro-growth, deregulatory policies of this administration," he added. "With one of the largest military populations in the nation, President Trump is eager to talk directly to the military men and women who have made this country the greatest on earth.”
Trump tweeted about Mueller’s upcoming appearance before Congress on Tuesday.
“Robert Mueller is being asked to testify yet again,” the president said. “He said he could only stick to the Report, & that is what he would and must do. After so much testimony & total transparency, this Witch Hunt must now end. No more Do Overs. No Collusion, No Obstruction. The Great Hoax is dead!”
