Former President Donald Trump will speak at the National Rifle Association (NRA) on Saturday at event in Dallas, Texas.

The event will mark his latest weekend excursion from New York amid his ongoing criminal trial in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's "hush money" case. Last weekend, he held a sizeable rally in Wildwood, N.J.

Trump's address is currently slated for 2 p.m. on Saturday, according to The Hill.

"President Trump's presence at the NRA Annual Meeting is a powerful sign of his ongoing commitment to our constitutional freedoms and the Association’s efforts to protect and advance the Second Amendment rights of every law-abiding American," said NRA-Institute for Legislative Action Executive Director Randy Kozuch, in a press release.

"His fellow NRA members can’t wait to hear from him at this pivotal moment in our Nation’s history," he added.

Trump's appearance at the annual meeting could signal a return to form for the NRA after a lengthy period of legal jeopardy. A New York jury in February held ex-CEO Wayne Lapierre liable for spending millions on perks for himself.

The NRA in April further agreed to reform its charitable arm to settle a case with the D.C. Attorney General's office.
