A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

New York Knicks owner James Dolan said the NBA champions have received and accepted an invitation to visit President Donald Trump at the White House, with details still to be finalized. Dolan announced the decision Wednesday on WFAN, saying he had also invited Trump to attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden. The visit would make the Knicks the first NBA championship team to celebrate at the White House during Trump’s presidency, following years in which most NBA title teams skipped the tradition. Guard Jose Alvarado said he would go if his teammates went, signaling players may follow the organization’s lead as plans take shape.
