NEW ORLEANS — President Donald Trump will attend Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans on Sunday, a White House official told NBC News on Tuesday.

Ahead of the game, Trump will sit down for a pre-game interview with Fox News' Bret Baier, NBC also reported. 

Trump would be the first sitting president to attend the game. House Speaker and Louisiana Rep. Mike Johnson is expected to join the president. 

Trump's attendance at the game comes after an enhanced security operation led by state, local and national officials was announced in the aftermath of a terror attack that killed 14 people and injured dozens in Bourbon Street on Jan. 1.
