SULAIMANI (ESTA) — Former U.S. President Donald Trump will seek to return to the political spotlight in an address to a major meeting of conservatives, Reuters cited a source familiar with his plans as saying on Sunday.

The source told Reuters that Trump planned to speak to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Orlando on February 28, the last day of their meeting.

“He’ll be talking about the future of the Republican Party and the conservative movement. Also look for the 45th President to take on President [Joe] Biden’s disastrous amnesty and border policies,” the source was quoted as saying.

Trump’s four years in the White House ended shortly after he was impeached on a charge of inciting his supporters’ attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6.

Trump was acquitted in an impeachment trial held in the Senate after he left office. The 57-43 vote fell short of the two-thirds majority needed for a conviction.

Trump has expressed anger at the 17 Republicans in the House of Representatives and Senate who voted to impeach or convict him, according to Reuters.

The loss of both the White House to Biden and control of the Senate has left Republicans on edge as they plot how to win back control of Congress in 2022.

A number of top republicans who are considered possible candidate for the party’s 2024 presidential nomination are also due to speak at CPAC, including Mike Pompeo and Kristi Noem, the governor of South Dakota.
