Former Presidents George W. Bush and Obama are expected to deliver eulogies at Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) eventual funeral, NBC News reported Saturday.
The news that the two former presidents plan to speak at the event comes amid revelations that those close to McCain have informed the White House that they plan to have Vice President Pence attend the senator's funeral - but not President Trump.
The New York Times reported earlier on Saturday that McCain's funeral is expected to take place at the Washington National Cathedral.
The 81-year-old McCain is currently undergoing treatment for an aggressive form of brain cancer that he was diagnosed with last year.

Why tarnish the event with such a stain as Trump? Social pariahs the lot of them.

That's how hated Trump is and how a true military officer leaves.
