-- TRUMP’S CAPITOL HILL DINNER: President Donald Trump is hosting a half dozen members of Congress for dinner at the White House Tuesday night, continuing one of the strongest aspects of his presidency: his outreach to Capitol Hill Republicans. Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Cory Gardner (R-Colo.), Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and Todd Young (R-Ind.), and Reps. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.) and Francis Rooney (R-Fla.) will all dine with the president. Rooney is a newly elected lawmaker who was a mega fundraiser for Republicans like George W. Bush and Mitt Romney. He was also ambassador to the Holy See in the Bush administration.
