Washington — The gold-medal winning U.S. men's hockey team is expected to appear at President Trump's State of the Union address Tuesday night, House Speaker Mike Johnson said ahead of the speech.
In an exclusive interview with "CBS Evening News" anchor Tony Dokoupil, Johnson said the team "will be there with their gold medals."
"Logistics were a bit of a challenge last minute, but I think we'll get that done," Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, said.
The team visited the White House ahead of Mr. Trump's speech, according to social media posts from White House aides.
Dan Scavino, deputy chief of staff, said Team USA was in the West Wing "with patriotic music blaring out of the Roosevelt Room," and Margo Martin, special assistant to the president, shared a photo of the team standing on the South Lawn and a video of players walking down the colonnade.
