Trump avoids mention of Mike Flynn's guilty plea at White House Christmas party
President Trump did not address the guilty plea of former national security adviser Michael Flynn at the annual White House Christmas party on Friday, nor did he stay and take pictures with the guests as presidents typically do.
Instead, he offered brief remarks that lasted two minutes and shook hands with those nearby for another several minutes, according to Politico.

Many members from Fox News attended the party including Sean Hannity, Kimberly Guilfoyle, and Jesse Watters, causing some to banter that the party should have been called the Fox News holiday party instead. CNN skipped the event as expected.
