President-elect Donald Trump said Tuesday that he's planning to attend the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter. Asked about it as he walked into a New Year's Eve party at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, Trump responded, "I'll be there.” Pressed on whether he'd spoken to members of Carter's family, Trump said he'd rather not say.

After the public pays its respects in the Capitol Rotunda and services at the National Cathedral, Carter will be laid to rest in his hometown.

Former President Carter will be honored with public observances in both Georgia and Washington, D.C., in the coming days, following his death on Sunday. He will be interred in Plains, Ga., according to the Carter Center.
