Bobby Rush says Donald Trump has agreed to visit Chicago

U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush says President Donald Trump has agreed to visit Chicago, a city he often chides for its violence and murder rate.

The congressman said he made the invitation Tuesday night moments before Trump gave his first speech before a joint session of Congress. Rush stopped the president for a few moments before he stepped up to the podium.

"The legislator said the nation's chief executive agreed to visit the city, which has been under a national spotlight after Trump threatened to 'send in the feds' to curb violence," Rush's office said.

The White House could not be immediately reached to confirm the invitation.
