A US Capitol Police officer who was also hurt in the gun attack was also receiving treatment at the facility, situated about three miles northeast of the White House. Ahead of his visit, a White House official said Trump may only be able to visit Scalise’s family, which has gathered at the facility, since the lawmaker himself remains critically ill.

Mark Knoller, White House Correspondent for CBS reported that First Lady Melania brought flowers to give to the injured Congressman.
