President Trump will be attending this year’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, DailyMail.com has learned.
Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders replied ‘yes,’ when asked if Trump would attend the annual April affair, after news broke earlier Monday that the president would also be attending the annual Gridiron dinner next month.
Last year, during his first year in office, Trump skipped both dinners, as they’re both hosted by journalistic institutions and he was warring with the so-called ‘fake news.’
White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders confirmed to DailyMail.com that President Trump would be attending this year’s White House Correspondents’ dinner
The president announced his intentions last year on Twitter.
‘I will not be attending the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner this year,’ Trump wrote. ‘Please wish everyone well and have a great evening!’
Private citizen Trump had attended the dinner multiple times, and was famously roasted by President Obama, and then by comedian Seth Meyers, in 2011, when he was contemplating running against Obama for the White House the next year.
