Statement on President Trump’s Decision to Attend WHCA Dinner

For more than 100 years, the journalists of the White House Correspondents’ Association have enjoyed an evening with the president, a dinner that celebrates the First Amendment while supporting the work we do including awards honoring excellent journalism and scholarships to help the next generation of reporters who someday will be the ones asking the questions at the White House.

We’re happy the president has accepted our invitation and look forward to hosting him.

-Weijia Jiang, President, WHCA
