#SteveWitkoff just delivered one of the most eye-watering moments from the Oval Office.
As President Trump signed an executive order to battle drug addiction, Witkoff shared the emotional story of what Trump did for him after his son Andrew passed away from addiction.
It was clear how much this all meant to him.
WITKOFF: “The President is doing the same thing to me now that he did to me in 2017.”
“So I want to tell the story about this.”
“I came to the opioid conference and the president did not know I was coming because I was invited by the First Lady.”
“And he leaned over and saw me in the aisle, and he looked at me and he said, Steve. And then he realized why I was there, because I had lost my son Andrew.”
“And the President was an incredible friend, when I lost him, I lived in his building at 502 Park Avenue. And I remember when him and the First Lady came and I talked about this all the time.”
“And so he took my hand and he said to me, come on up to the stage and tell the world about your boy Andrew.”
“And of course, that was, you know, something that was really meaningful to me. But I got through it, and I talk about it all the time. I talked about it on the campaign trail and so forth.”
“He is a very special man, and he’s begun and led the fight against opioid addiction and alcoholism.”
“And it’s just my blessing to work for you sir.”
