PARIS Saturday's rainout of President Donald Trump's visit to a World War I cemetery is drawing catcalls from critics, including Winston Churchill's grandson.

"They died with their face to the foe and that pathetic inadequate Donald Trump couldnt even defy the weather to pay his respects to The Fallen," said Nicholas Soames, Churchill's grandson and a member of British Parliament.

The White House said it canceled Trump's trip to Aisne-Marne American Cemetery and Memorial near Paris "due to scheduling and logistical difficulties caused by the weather."

Critics pointed out world leaders like Emmanuel Macron of France, Angela Merkel of Germany, and Justin Trudeau of Canada managed to attend events Saturday despite the rain.

"Real low energy, @realDonaldTrump to not bother to honor the sacrifice of American soldiers in WWI due to some rain," tweetedKelly Magsamen, a National Security Council adviser for both Republican andDemocratic presidents.

"Somehow everyone else was able to do so today," she said. "Obama never had this problem. He also visited our troops in war zones."

Ben Rhodes, a foreign policy adviser for President Barack Obama who helped plan these kinds of events, tweeted that "there is always a rain option. Always."

Trump, who is town for a Sunday commemoration marking the 100th anniversary of the end of World War, is still scheduled to visit and speak at another cemetery after that main event.

Late Saturday, Trump said he had "very productive meetings and calls for our Country" during the day, but he didn't specify what they were.

Donald Trump Criticizes Sean Hannity At Rally Like A Best Bud …

Even President Donald Trumpscozy relationship with Fox News Sean Hannity has its limits.

At a rally Thursday in Billings, Montana, Trump criticized the conservative host and one of his staunchest supporters but in the sweetest fashion.

Do we love Sean Hannity, by the way? the president asked the crowd in a clip shown on Hannity (watch below). I love him.But heres the only thing.He puts up all these losers that say horrible things.Ive got to talk to him.One after another.

Pointing to his head, Trump added that one of the horrible things people on Hannitys show say is Donald Trump, hes lost it up here.

I stand up here giving speeches for an hour and a half, many times without notes, and then they say Hes lost it, and yet we have 25,000 people showing up to speeches, Trump said.

After his friendly chastising of the Fox News personality, Trump pointed to the back of the audience and said: And, by the way, look at all the fake news back there.

Special counsel Mueller wants to ask Trump about obstruction …

Special Counsel Robert Muellers office wants to ask President Donald Trump about obstruction of justice, among other topics, sources close to the White House tell ABC News. According to sources, the president learned within the last day that the special counsel will limit the scope of questioning and would like to ask questions both orally and written for the President to respond to.

According to sources familiar with the Presidents reaction Wednesday morning, that was the genesis for his early morning tweet storm. Trump took to twitter in one of his strongest attacks against the federal probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, saying: "This is a terrible situation and Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this Rigged Witch Hunt right now, before it continues to stain our country any further. Bob Mueller is totally conflicted, and his 17 Angry Democrats that are doing his dirty work are a disgrace to USA!"

Negotiations over a potential presidential interview have gone on for months, through several different iterations of the Trump legal team. Current lead attorney, Rudy Giuliani, told ABC News a week ago that his team had submitted a response to Mueller asking to limit the scope of an interview with Trump especially as it relates to obstruction of justice.

"We have a list of questions that are fairly narrowed but we are waiting on the special counsel's response," Giuliani told ABC last week.

Speaking to reporters after an appearance in New Hampshire today, Giuliani said he had received a response from the special counsels office without getting into details.

"They took about 10 days and yesterday we got a letter back for them. Now we're in the process of responding to their proposal," Giuliani said.

The presidents legal team declined to comment when reached by ABC News about specific details on the special counsel's responses.

The special counsels office declined to comment when reached by ABC News.

The president has said many times he would be willing to speak with Mueller but would await his legal teams guidance.
