The pressure from the public appears to have caused the White House to row back on comments made about Pretti in the aftermath of his killing, including those of Noem and Bovino calling him a ‘domestic terrorist’ who had attacked officers.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Monday that she had ‘not heard the president characterize Mr Pretti in that way.’
She said that Trump would await an investigation before commenting, adding: “However, I have heard the president say he wants to let the facts and the investigation lead itself.”
Donald Trump and Melania both appeared at her film’s premier, but some noticed that there was a surprising absence from the event.
Melania finally got her big night for her documentary on Thursday (January 29) with guests ranging from minor celebrities to members of the Trump administration.
