Report: President Trump to give Medal of Freedom to Bill Belichick

New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick isn’t one to embrace controversy or, for that matter, unwanted attention.

It will be fascinating to see what the coach does this week as he is to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom from outgoing President Donald J. Trump, per a Politico report.

On Monday, Trump plans to award Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) the highest civilian honor. On Tuesday, he plans to visit Alamo, Texas, to visit a section of the U.S.-Mexico border wall. And on Thursday, Trump plans to award New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick the Presidential Medal of Freedom, according to a White House official.

A spokesperson for the Patriots did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
