President Trump addressed the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) dinner on Friday, three months after the original event was postponed. The initial gathering was rescheduled following an incident where a gunman reportedly intended to target the president and administration officials.
In her preview of the remarks, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that the president’s speech would be "unifying but vicious." During the address, Trump directed comments toward Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Biden, and CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins.
The event took place amid heightened security measures coordinated between the WHCA and the Secret Service. The dinner is an annual tradition involving members of the White House press corps and administration officials, though Trump had previously declined to attend during his first term.
