(CNN) Local and national officials are declining to appear with President Donald Trump on Tuesday when he visits a grieving Pittsburgh, where funerals for slain congregants at the Tree of Life synagogue are set to begin. Democratic Sen. Bob Casey was not invited by the White House, according to his communications director. The White House has declined to say who the President will meet with when he travels to Pittsburgh on Tuesday afternoon. Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto -- who said this week Trump should forestall a visit while burials begin -- will not appear with Trump, according to his spokesman. The White House Office of Public Engagement, which is a liaison to local government officials and groups, is taking the lead on the Pittsburgh trip.
