The White House Correspondents’ Dinner is back tonight under extraordinary circumstances.

President Donald Trump returns to the rescheduled event after the original April dinner was abruptly disrupted by an armed attack and major security scare. Tonight’s gathering is being held at Washington’s Waldorf Astoria with heightened security and a significantly smaller guest list.

Trump is expected to deliver remarks as journalists, government officials, and media leaders gather to celebrate the role of a free press, honor outstanding reporting, and support journalism scholarships. The evening will also recognize the Secret Service agent and hotel employees who responded during the April attack.

We’re following the biggest moments from the room — including Trump’s speech, the reaction from the press, the jokes, the tension, and the conversations dominating Washington tonight.
