Read our privacy policy President Donald Trump will award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to two of his most vocal political allies before he leaves office later in January, according to a number of reports. The President will bestow the highest honor in the US for a civilian to staunch ally California Rep Devin Nunes on Monday, The Washington Post first reported. Both Rep Nunes and Rep Jordan stood as some of the president's most outspoken defenders who supported him during the 2016 investigations into Russian interference and the House’s impeachment inquiry in 2019. In a 2018 interview with Fox & Friends, Mr Trump previously suggested that Rep Nunes should receive the medal for his work during the Russia investigation, which he branded a "witch hunt."
