President Donald Trump will visit Pittsburgh later Tuesday to pay tribute to the 11 victims of the mass shooting at a synagogue there - yet he is traveling with no official public itinerary, little planning, and without congressional and local leaders whom the White House invited on the trip. The White House asked the top four congressional leaders - House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. - to accompany Trump and first lady Melania Trump to Pittsburgh but all declined, according to three officials familiar with the invitations.
