Jenner has said she'd like to discuss LGBT issues with Donald Trump, but no one's saying if she got to see him.
Caitlyn Jenner visited the White House Thursday and met with Trump administration officials, although no one's saying exactly who those officials were or what was discussed.
"She was there for meetings and on her promo tour for her new book, released this week," a representative for Jenner told ABC News after someone from the network saw her entering the White House complex. Jenner has a memoir out, The Secrets of My Life.
Jenner, a Republican, has been critical of the Trump administration, especially for its withdrawal of guidelines for schools on equal treatment of transgender students. "Here's the deal-breaker with the Republican Party," she told Diane Sawyer on ABC's 20/20 recently. "And the deal-breaker is, 'You mess with my community ... you don't give us equality and a fair shot, I'm coming after you.'"
She told Sawyer she attended Donald Trump's inauguration and he invited her to play golf, which she didn't think she'd do, but she said she'd like to meet with him to discuss LGBT issues. She recently told another TV host, Fox News Channel's Tucker Carlson, that she would rather try to move the Republican Party to a better place on LGBT issues than try to change the Democratic Party's positions on economic ones.
