President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance were excluded from the invitation list for the funeral of former Vice President Dick Cheney, held at Washington’s National Cathedral.
The ceremony, honoring Cheney—who died at age 84—was attended by a lengthy roster of dignitaries, including both Democratic and Republican former presidents and vice presidents. Their absence stood out amid the broad bipartisan turnout.
Officials familiar with the arrangements say the decision reflects longstanding political tensions between the Trump administration and Cheney’s family, particularly his daughter, Liz Cheney.
