Trump to skip White House Correspondents' dinner for second year running
US President Donald Trump plans to skip the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, marking the second year he has shunned the glitzy gathering of Washington journalists he routinely assails as "fake news".
White House Correspondents' Association president Margaret Talev said in a statement the "White House has informed us that the president does not plan to participate in this year's dinner but that he will actively encourage members of the executive branch to attend".
