Earlier Monday, reporters spotted Graham hopping into the presidential motorcade before it departed for Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Va.
Before the trip, workers were spotted loading golf clubs into an SUV.
The White House in a statement said Trump and Graham discussed their legislative priorities, including immigration, tax reform, government funding and health care. “We have a very aggressive fall agenda, and will continue meeting and working with members of congress to get things accomplished,” the statement said.Â
