68th Annual National Prayer Breakfast

Less, than twenty-four hours ago President Trump was acquitted, earlier this morning, President Donald J. Trump and Vice President Pence delivered remarks at the 68th Annual National Prayer Breakfast. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who was seated at the end of a long table on the stage around the podium, stood and clapped as President Trump entered the room. She then looked on as he displayed the newspapers declaring him "acquitted" in the Senate impeachment trial. 

President Trump said; " As I said on Tuesday in the House Chamber, “In America, we don’t punish prayer.  We don’t tear down crosses.  We don’t ban symbols of faith.  We don’t muzzle preachers."  We don’t muzzle pastors.  "In America, we celebrate faith, we cherish religion, we lift our voices in prayer, and we raise our sights to the Glory of God.” He continued; "Before America declared independence, patriots in all 13 colonies came together in days of fasting and prayer.  In the bitter cold of Valley Forge, Washington and his men had no food, no supplies, and very little chance of victory.  It reminded me a little bit of 2016.  We had very little chance of victory.  Except for the people in this room and some others believed we were going to win.  I believed we were going to win.  But what they did have was have an unwavering belief that God was with them.  I believe that too. God is with the people in this room. "

Vice President Pence's office sends along with the following statement, related to the ongoing impeachment trial

“As matter of policy we don’t typically share or discuss conversations between the President and Vice President, but given the journalistic fury over alleged conversations, the President has given me permission to set the record straight. In every conversation with the President and the Vice President in preparation for our trip to Poland, the President consistently expressed his frustration that the United States was bearing the lion’s share of responsibility for aid to Ukraine and that European nations weren’t doing their part.  The President also expressed concerns about corruption in Ukraine.   At no time did I hear him tie aid to Ukraine to investigations into the Biden family or Burisma.  As White House Counsel presented today, based upon testimony provided by Democrat witnesses in the House hearings, these were the only issues that the Vice President discussed with Ukrainian officials --- because that’s what the President asked him to raise.” – Marc Short, Chief of Staff to Vice President Pence
