Giant spiders and their webs hung from the walls as Jack O'Lanters featuring the faces of previous presidents were scattered across the garden. Flanked by costumed children and parents, President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump handed out treats and posed for photographs as a steady stream of visitors awaited to greet the two on the South Lawn. It just so happened that the cheerful event fell on the same day that Trump's associates, including Paul Manafort, were indicted in the Russia probe. Children from 20 schools in the surrounding area and military families were invited to the event, according to the Associated Press. Trick-or-treaters received presidential M&M's and home-baked cookies.  Here are some photos of the festivities: SEE ALSO: 'I will be releasing ALL JFK files': Trump pivots from earlier decision to redact records DON'T MISS: 'Well, you have no weight problems,' Trump says to children as he hands them candy Staff transformed the White House on Halloween eve to welcome the first family's costumed guests.
