WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Donald Trump on Wednesday defended his suggestion of giving a speech from the White House accepting the Republican Party’s presidential nomination, after lawmakers and ethicists said it was inappropriate and possibly illegal to use a nonpartisan, public site as a venue for a political address.
