Trump Awards Medal of Freedom to Senator Orrin Hatch

TRANSCRIPT:

UNKNOWN MALE: "Senator Orrin Hatch is one of the longest serving senators in American history, having represented Utah for more than 41 years. Currently, the Senate’s president pro tempore and chairman of the Finance Committee, Senator Hatch has sponsored more bills that have become law than any other living member of Congress. He has led the way in confirming qualified judges throughout the federal judiciary in order to protect our constitutional order and has championed religious liberty, fought against communism, and stood on the side of freedom around the world. Senator Hatch’s dedication to the Senate, the country and the rule of law has helped make our country what it is today and for that we honor him." (Applause)
