Trump jokes about the press at White House Correspondents' Dinner
The annual Washington dinner returned with a focus on press freedom after April's shooting forced the first event to be called off.
Donald Trump used the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington to make jokes about the media, as the annual gathering marked a return after the first planned event was cancelled in April because of a shooting. The dinner brought together journalists and political figures in the US capital on Saturday.
According to BBC World, the evening was framed around support for press freedom, with organisers and attendees treating the event as a chance to highlight the role of the media. The dinner is a long-running fixture on the Washington social and political calendar.
The cancellation of the earlier dinner followed the April shooting, which disrupted plans for the original event. This year's gathering went ahead in the same city under tighter attention because of that earlier incident.
