The Associated Press reports that they were was spotted at Trump’s West Palm Beach course this afternoon along with Nicklaus’ son, Gary. The president spent about six hours at Trump International Golf Course starting around 2 p.m., according to earlier reports. It was Trump’s fourth day in a row visiting one of his golf courses during his Thanksgiving visit to Mar-a-Lago.

According to The Associated Press, senior administration officials said today that they expect no trouble when Trump’s pick for temporary director of the CFPB shows up for work Monday.
