Trump to attend White House Correspondents’ dinner for first time

Donald Trump will attend White House Correspondents’ Association dinner for the first time as president. The president boycotted the annual dinner all four years in his first term and again last spring. In fact, he sometimes held competing events on the same night. But tonight, Donald Trump will attend the event attended by a few thousand journalists, politicians, and celebrities. Some news organizations are protesting the president’s appearance because of his aggressive criticism of the press as “fake news” and for his administration’s crackdown on press access at the White House and Pentagon.
