Catholic leaders said a White House meeting with President Donald Trump was not intended as a political event and expressed regret after the White House shared images or video of them praying with him.

Milwaukee Archbishop Jeffrey Grob issued a public apology, saying the bishops had been “manipulated.” The bishop of Des Moines separately said the White House had “exploited” the visit for political purposes.
