Over 200 Journalists Sign Open Letter Demanding Trump Be Called Out at WHCD
More than 200 journalists have signed an open letter urging the White House Correspondents Association to call out President Donald Trump to his face at Saturday's event, according to a statement by Dan Rather.
More than 200 journalists have signed an open letter urging the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) to call out President Donald Trump at Saturday's White House Correspondents' Dinner, citing his actions as a threat to press freedom and journalistic integrity. The event is expected to address issues of press freedom in the current administration. The group of journalists, which includes prominent figures such as Dan Rather, are calling for a more confrontational approach than the traditional roasting format often used at the dinner. The WHCA has yet to confirm whether Trump will attend the event.
