Tonight's event is delayed, but Trump still plans on speaking at it

President Trump still plans to deliver remarks at his "Salute to America" event tonight, despite an announcement there would be a delay in the program.

Trump was originally scheduled to deliver an address at 6:30 p.m. ET.

White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said there has not been a bad weather call and added that the President would travel the short distance to the Lincoln Memorial.

What we know so far: We don't have details about the length of the delay, but there is severe weather in the Washington area and low cloud cover.
