Trump accepts Pelosi's invite to deliver State of the Union

The White House accepted Speaker Nancy Pelosi's Friday invitation to deliver the State of the Union address to Congress on Feb. 4.

Why it matters: President Trump will be speaking before the jurors of his Senate trial — as well as multiple potential 2020 general election opponents — in the chamber where he was impeached earlier this week.

• Of note: The speech will take place one day after the Iowa caucuses.
