Trump invites Olympic champions to State of the Union

FBI director Kash Patel joins locker-room revelry in Milan

Donald Trump made a congratulatory call to the United States men’s hockey team after their dramatic win over Canada in the Olympic gold medal game on Sunday afternoon, praising what he called an “unbelievable” performance and inviting the players to Washington this week.

The US president addressed the team by FaceTime Audio speakerphone call shortly after their 2-1 overtime victory at the Milano Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena, telling them they had delivered a moment the country would remember for decades.

“Unbelievable. You were all unbelievable. That team is pretty good you played,” Trump said in a locker-room video capturing the call shared overnight by the official White House rapid response account.
