Donald Trump announced Saturday afternoon that he will not be attending the annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner in Washington, D. C.
One day after the White House announced it had barred CNN, The New York Times, Politico and several other major media outlets from a media “gaggle” in the White House leading to angry protests from the press and several threats of boycotts of future media briefings, in a tweet the president said he will pass on the journalism scholarship benefit dinner in April traditionally attended by major media outlets, celebrity guests and the president and vice president.
“I will not be attending the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner this year. Please wish everyone well and have a great evening!” he wrote on Twitter.
