President Trump, senior White House staff head to weekend retreat at Camp DavidABC News, Jan 5, 2019
President Donald Trump and his senior staff are headed on a group vacation -- all at the direction of new acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney.
White House senior staffers will spend the weekend at Camp David in Hauvers, Maryland, a rural retreat for the office of president.
Trump will visit the retreat and lead meetings, but only on Sunday.
"Acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney invited White House Senior Staff to Camp David for a staff retreat to lay out the administration's 2019 priories. President Trump will join the team and lead meetings on Sunday," White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement.

It is not clear which staffers will be making the hike, though Vice President Mike Pence, son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen will not be visiting. The three will instead continue to negotiate with congressional leaders in a bid to end the partial government shutdown, which enters its 15th day on Saturday.
