Donald Trump to address House GOP in early July
GOP leaders told the House Republican conference in a meeting Tuesday morning that the party's presumptive nominee Donald Trump will be addressing the lawmakers' caucus on July 7, CBS News' Steven Portnoy reports.
Last week, House Speaker Paul Ryan reaffirmed his endorsement of Trump amid criticism over Trump's comments suggesting the judge presiding over the Trump University civil lawsuits Judge Gonzalo Curiel, could be biased because of his Mexican heritage. Ryan had referred to Trump's remarks as the "textbook definition of a racist comment."
Ryan also told CBS News' "Face the Nation" that he would continue to speak out against Trump's proposals if they "run contrary" to Republican principles.
"When anyone in our party -- least especially our nominee -- says things that run contrary to our beliefs, to our values, to our principles, we have an obligation to call them out," Ryan said in an interview that aired Sunday. "We have an obligation to not support those things because they don't define who we are."
There's no indication at this point that Trump might also address Senate Republicans while he visits Capitol Hill.
