Trump Attends Dinner

U.S. President Donald Trump is set to attend the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner later this month, marking his first appearance since 2015.
The announcement has sparked controversy as some news organizations, including HuffPost, opt out due to concerns over the administration’s treatment of the press.
Critics argue that celebrating journalism with the president who has threatened journalists and undermined press freedoms is inappropriate.
Some attendees plan to wear symbols of protest, while others question the event’s value.
The evening will feature entertainment from mentalist Oz Pearlman, marking a shift away from the traditional comedic roast format.
