“Washington National Cathedral was honored to host the funeral service for Sen. John McCain. All funerals and memorial services at the Cathedral are organized by the family of the deceased; only a state funeral for a former president involves consultation with government officials,” a cathedral spokesperson told HuffPost on Thursday. President Trump on John McCain: "I gave him the kind of funeral that he wanted, which as president I had to approve. That's ok. We sent him on the way, but I wasn't a fan of John McCain." In reality, Trump only gave approval for the use of military transportation to bring McCain’s body back to Washington.
