Despite a tumultuous and deadly week in Washington, President Donald Trump is reportedly planning to award New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick the nation’s highest civilian honor.
Belichick, a White House official told Politico on Sunday, will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Thursday.
That ceremony will come after a chaotic week in Washington D.C., in which five people were killed after pro-Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol building and rioted following Trump’s latest false claims about election fraud. The House of Representatives is preparing to vote on impeaching Trump a second time as early as Tuesday.
