President Trump makes a surprise visit to the hospital where critically injured Rep. Scalise is being treated

On Wednesday night, the President made an unannounced visit to MedStar Washington Hospital Center, where GOP Congressman Steve Scalise is being treated for a gunshot wound.

President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump both stopped by the hospital and reportedly brought two bouquets of flowers with them. It is unclear whether the President and First Lady were able to visit with Scalise himself or with just his family, as he remains in critical condition.
