President Barack Obama spoke privately Friday afternoon with Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, seeing the Democratic Congresswoman for the first time since she was shot in Tucson, Ariz.
Roll Call
The White House did not release any specific details about what was discussed during the visit at NASA, which lasted about 10 minutes. But an administration official told reporters First Lady Michelle Obama also was in the room, along with incoming Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), a longtime Giffords friend. Also present for the meeting were Giffords’ husband, astronaut Mark Kelly, and the Congresswoman’s mother and brother-in-law.
Not too much substantive news but a good sign for the Congresswoman.
