President Trump is moving full steam ahead to deliver his State of the Union Address despite House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s power play to postpone the President’s speech.
Pelosi previously cited security concerns and the government shutdown in her request to postpone President Trump’s SOTU address.
The President will not be deterred by Pelosi’s antics.
According to Fox News reporter John Roberts, the White House sent a letter to the Sergeant-At-Arms asking to schedule a walk-through for the SOTU address.
President Trump still plans on being at the Capitol on January 29th according to John Roberts.
SCOOP: @WhiteHouse has sent a letter to the Sergeant-At-Arms, asking to schedule a walk-through for the SOTU address. SAA cancelled a walk-through last week at the request of @SpeakerPelosi . @realDonaldTrump still plans to be at the Capitol on Jan 29 for the speech

The request was sent by email.
Just to update for clarity – the "letter" was in the form of an email – bits and bytes, 1's and 0's, not pretty, gold-embossed WH letterhead.

President Trump has a backup plan if the Speaker does not allow him to deliver the SOTU from the House — The President will deliver his speech from somewhere outside of Washington DC. — location to be announced!
.@WhiteHouse pursuing two tracks for SOTU. Preferred track is to deliver the speech as scheduled on Jan 29. Whether that happens or not is up to @SpeakerPelosi . 2nd track – a backup plan – is a speech somewhere outside of Washington, DC
