FILE -- President Donald Trump speaks to the audience during the National Prayer Breakfast at the Washington Hilton Hotel in Washington, Feb. 8, 2018. The subculture of the breakfast was brought to light in 2018 with the indictment of Maria Butina, who was charged with acting as a Russian agent, including by using the breakfast to cultivate relationships with prominent American conservatives to help Russia.
