President Donald Trump issued a statement after a gunman killed Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her spouse. John Hoffman was wounded.

President Donald Trump celebrated the "fighting spirit and unyielding force" of the American military in remarks following a parade in Washington, D.C. commemorating the 250th anniversary of the armed services that saw a grand showing of the military's power throughout the National Mall.
