Despite a tumultuous and deadly week in Washington, President Donald Trump is reportedly planning to award New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick the nations highest civilian honor.
Belichick, a White House official told Politico on Sunday, will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Thursday.
That ceremony will come after a chaotic week in Washington D.C., in which five people were killed after pro-Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol building and rioted following Trumps latest false claims about election fraud. The House of Representatives is preparing to vote on impeaching Trump a second time as early as Tuesday.
Trump who awarded the medal to golfers Annika Sorenstam and Gary Player one day after the horrific attacks on the Capitol last week will also provide the medal to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) on Monday.

If I were Belechick I'd refuse it but I think those two are long time friends.
On edit: It looks like Belichick very much wants to accept the Medal.
