Former President Donald Trump met with House and Senate Republicans during a visit to Washington.

WASHINGTON—Former President Donald Trump on June 13 met with House and Senate Republicans during a visit to Washington.

The former president began his day at the Capitol Hill Club, just outside of the Capitol grounds, where he addressed the majority of the House Republican conference.

Protesters, supporters, and press alike congregated outside the building, though the former president made no public remarks there.

Former President Trump also delivered remarks to Senate Republicans at the National Republican Senatorial Committee headquarters just down the road from the Capitol. Later, he plans to deliver remarks to the Business Roundtable.

“There’s tremendous unity in the Republican Party,” former President Trump said at a press conference after his meeting with Senate Republicans.

“We want to see borders, we want to see strong military, we want to see money not wasted all over the world,” he said.

The presumptive GOP nominees’ visit comes one day after House Republicans voted to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt for failing to hand over tapes of President Joe Biden’s interviews with special counsel Robert Hur. Mr. Garland and Democrats dismissed the move as a partisan attack.

The former president’s remarks to the House Republican conference largely echoed the statements he has made on the campaign trail.

According to lawmakers leaving the meeting, he made no specific requests of House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) or the conference as a whole.

The energetic conversation, according to Republicans, touched on an array of issues: election strategy, divisions within the conference, immigration, the economy, abortion, tariffs and taxation, and allegations of a weaponized justice system.

Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) told The Epoch Times that the former president and the Republican conference discussed “deportation, getting [the Keystone XL pipeline] opened back up, oil flowing and getting inflation down, cutting taxes.”

“He hit everything, he really did, that’s the most energized I’ve ever seen him,” the House Freedom Caucus member said.
