Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims will meet with Donald Trump as the president is scheduled to visit California on Monday.
The president will travel to McClelland Park in Sacramento for a briefing on the wildfires. Mims, whose department has been handling the law enforcement end of the Creek Fire, will travel to the state capital to provide an update.
“Sheriff Mims will be one of a handful of officials traveling to Sacramento on Monday to sit down at a round table meeting with him. She will discuss everything related to Fresno County and the fire,” sheriff’s office spokesman Tony Botti said. “He wants all the players to come to him for convenience.”
The President has been campaigning in Nevada this weekend. He is spending Sunday night in Las Vegas. He has a Monday afternoon campaign event in Phoenix, Arizona.

Trump, Mims Met Before
Mims and Trump are familiar with each other. The two met at a White House roundtable on crime in 2018.
Trump’s comments during that meeting, calling the MS-13 gang “animals,” made headlines.
Mims also met with Trump at the U.S.-Mexico border in Calexico in 2019.
