Washington (CNN) Just after midnight on Sunday night, the flag flying above the White House was hoisted back to full staff. Since Saturday evening, it had been positioned at half-staff to mark the death of Sen. John McCain, the former Vietnam prisoner of war and onetime Republican nominee for President. The White House flag returned to its regular position even as other flags around Washington -- including at the US Capitol -- remained in the half-staff mourning position. The contrast offered the latest reminder of the animosity that Trump has maintained for McCain, even after his passing. The White House offered no official statement, but Trump did tweet his "deepest sympathies and respect" to McCain's family.
