Trump\u2019s tweets were swiftly flagged by the social media network as disputed claims about election fraud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the exception of weekend visits to his private golf club in northern Virginia, Trump has remained at the White House since Election Day and last appeared before cameras to deliver a statement six days ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His allies on Capitol Hill, led by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, have encouraged the president\u2019s baseless accusations. They signaled they are willing to let Trump spin out his election lawsuits and unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud for the next several weeks, until the states certify the elections by early December and the Electoral College meets Dec. 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump was also joined at Arlington National Cemetery by first lady Melania Trump as well Vice President Mike Pence and his wife, Karen Pence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pence had been scheduled to travel to Sanibel, Florida, Tuesday through Saturday, according to the Federal Aviation Administration, but will instead be in Washington on Wednesday. Pence\u2019s office didn\u2019t immediately comment on the status of his trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pence has vacationed on the island along Florida\u2019s Gulf Coast several times previously.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump visited the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery on Wednesday, emerging in public
