It was just announced that he accepted the invitation, and of course he would because it's another 5 minutes in the limelight, from C.P.A.C. to speak. I can just imagine the feeding frenzy that'll occur!
Sidebar: Others who accepted are Ben Carson, Gov. Ron DeSantis, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, actor Jon Voight, Donald Trump Jr. and Sen. Ted Cruz.

Former President Donald Trump and his future with the GOP was the subject of an awkward clash Wednesday between two House Republican lead
House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy was unequivocal when asked if Trump should be speaking this Sunday at CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference -- the large gathering of GOP and conservative leaders.
House GOP Conference Chair Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., the third-ranking House Republican, who voted to impeach Trump and became his target, gave a different answer.
"That's up to CPAC ... I don't believe that he should be playing a role in the future of the party or the country," Cheney said as she stood behind McCarthy.

Rep. Steve Scalise, the second-ranking House Republican, who also has visited Trump in Florida, shook his head.
McCarthy, who was at the microphone, had a pained look on his face when Cheney made her comment.
"On that high note, thank you!" McCarthy said to end the news conference.
