The Washington Post reports Spicer elaborated on the meeting during NBC’s “Today” appearance.

“Today, President-elect Trump is going to sit down with Martin Luther King III and others in New York and have a conversation about voting, about bringing more people into the system, the legacy of Dr. King, and how we can pursue that under the Trump administration,” Spicer said.

Trump posted praise for Rev. King on his own Twitter account:

Celebrate Martin Luther King Day and all of the many wonderful things that he stood for. Honor him for being the great man that he was!
