Sarah Sanders to attend White House Correspondents' Dinner to represent White House [View all]

Source: The Hill

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders will attend the White House Correspondents Dinner (WHCD) this year in place of President Trump, the White House Correspondents' Association announced Friday.

The news comes just hours after Trump himself said he "probably" would not be attending this year, the second year in a row he has skipped the annual dinner honoring D.C. journalists.

"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 and join us as we celebrate the First Amendment," the WHCA wrote in a statement on Twitter.

"In keeping with tradition, Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders will represent the administration at the head table," the statement adds.
