The White House Halloween tradition dates back to 1958, when first lady Mamie Eisenhower first decorated the residence with pumpkins, skeletons and cobwebs, per the White House Historical Association. It wasn’t until the Kennedy administration, with children in the White House, that trick-or-treating became part of the celebration.

The White House said on Friday it had learned there likely will not be a release of inflation data next month due to the U.S. government shutdown, which could leave a gap in a data series stretching back more than a century.

People familiar with pardon discussions told NBC News that top White House officials became concerned about attempts from outsiders to profit from the clemency process.

As the government shutdown enters its fourth week, Senate Republicans are headed to the White House — not for urgent talks on how to end it, but for a display of unity with President Donald Trump as they refuse to negotiate on any Democratic demands.

President Donald Trump tore down the East Wing of the White House this week to commence a much-needed renovation of the 123-year-old structure that has existed in its current form since the FDR administration.
