Trump Returns to Rescheduled White House Correspondents' Dinner

President Donald Trump returned to the rescheduled White House Correspondents' Association dinner in Washington, D.C., on Friday night, three months after an April shooting caused the original event to be cancelled. He delivered a roughly hour-long speech, poking fun at the press and joking about a third term, after the White House had billed his remarks as "unifying yet vicious." The redo was scaled down with increased security.
