The annual event in Washington, D.C. was canceled Saturday following a shooting, with President Trump announcing plans to reschedule but no new date set.
This was to be President Trump's first attendance as president, but he did not deliver a speech. Mentalist Oz Pearlman was chosen as entertainer instead of the usual comedian host.
The dinner, organized by the White House Correspondents' Association, raises funds for journalism scholarships and programs, and is typically attended by journalists, politicians, and celebrities. Media outlets cover their own costs through ticket sales and sponsorships.
