The date of the Patriots' ceremony at the White House has not yet been announced. A request for comment to the White House was not immediately returned Thursday morning.

“Public memory is so short that inviting Robert Kraft last month would have been not cool. But if [the Patriots] are not going to come until late spring, we’ll have to see what’s going on at that time,” the official told Politico.

“But I would bet that he comes,” the official continued. “He’s synonymous with the team. He’s accused, but he hasn’t been convicted.”

Kraft has denied the allegations against him and on Wednesday announced that he would reject a plea deal Florida prosecutors offered to more than 20 men, including Kraft, who were charged after a sting at a West Palm Beach day spa.

"We categorically deny that Mr. Kraft engaged in any illegal activity," Kraft's spokesperson said last month. "Because it is a judicial matter, we will not be commenting further."

Trump himself commented on the charges last month, noting that Kraft had denied the charges and calling the situation "very sad."

"Surprised to see it. He has denied it," Trump told reporters.
