Trump won’t attend correspondents’ dinner.

President Donald Trump will not attend the White House correspondents’ dinner this year.

Trump announced his decision on Twitter late Saturday afternoon. The dinner is scheduled for April 29.

He tweeted: I will not be attending the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner this year. Please wish everyone well and have a great evening!”

Questions about whether the dinner — an annual gathering of journalists and the people they cover, typically headlined by the sitting president — was appropriate had already existed before Trump took office. Since his inauguration, however, calls to boycott the annual event have grown louder.
