Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump held a ceremony on Friday at the White House for the Louisiana State University football team to celebrate their recent national championship game win.

"It is really my great privilege to welcome to the White House the college football national champions, the Louisiana State University Tigers," Trump said during an East Room ceremony filled with players, team staff, administration officials, members of Congress and fans. "This team showed the world what it means to look out for one another."

Trump went nearly the entire ceremony without bringing up impeachment , until he invited members of the team to take pictures in the Oval Office behind the Resolute Desk.

"It's been there a long time -- a lot of presidents, some good, some not so good. You've got a good one now, even though they're trying to impeach the son of a b****," he said to laughter in the room.

During the ceremony, the President touted the economy and at times made jokes.
