PoliticoFirst lady Melania Trump has cancelled a California fundraiser she was to hold next week, the White House confirmed.
White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said in a text message that the first lady would not be holding a previously scheduled March 18 fundraiser in Beverly Hills. She said the decision was due to a scheduling conflict.
The move comes amid mounting concerns about the coronavirus. Los Angeles County, where the event was to be held, has declared a state of emergency over the outbreak.
