A date has officially been set for the Philadelphia Eagles' White House visit with President Donald Trump to celebrate last month's Super Bowl victory.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced Tuesday the team will make its visit April 28. 

Leavitt also took a jab at reports about whether an invitation would be sent after what occurred in 2018.

As the 45th president of the United States at the time, Trump rescinded his invitation to the Eagles after their Super Bowl victory over the Patriots after some players said they wouldn’t attend.

This time around, Trump acknowledged he wanted to get the Eagles to the nation’s capital to celebrate, and that’s exactly what will happen.

"I know there was a lot of fake news about an invitation that wasn’t sent or was sent. We want to correct the record: We sent an invitation. They enthusiastically accepted, and you will see them here on April 28," Leavitt said during her daily White House briefing Tuesday.
