President-elect Donald Trump will not be paying a visit tomorrow to the new Smithsonian Museum of African American History and Culture, transition officials told ABC News.
Senior sources initially said that Trump would visit the latest addition to the National Mall as part of his Martin Luther King Jr. Day observance – instead he'll commemorate the civil rights leader in some other way.
The change of plans comes on the heels of a testy back-and-forth between Trump and Rep. John Lewis, a congressman who marched alongside King, and said he didn't consider Trump a 'legitimate president.'
