Press has been escorted into the East Room for the Medal of Honor ceremony.
The White House earlier today sent a release highlighting the three recipients. Link: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/2026/06/president-trump-to-award-medal-of-honor/
Spotted in the audience: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, U.S. Sens. Lindsey Graham and Todd Young.
Jazz music is being piped in on speakers.
This event is being live streamed on Whitehouse.gov, so pooler will only send any color or highlights from off stage.
