Platt prayed for the victims of the Virginia Beach shooting, and ended his prayer by asking for wisdom for the President as he continues to lead the United States.

President Trump did not make any comments to the congregation, but mouthed a “thank you” while walking off the stage.

According to Judd Deere, the White House’s deputy press secretary, the president visited Mclean to “visit with the Pastor and pray for the victims and community of Virginia Beach.”

President Trump’s surprise visit came on the same day that Rev. Franklin Graham had called for a nationwide day of prayer for the president.
