The White House Correspondents’ Dinner returned in a high-security, high-tension do-over after the original April event was shut down by a security breach. Held at the Waldorf Astoria — once owned by Trump — the evening featured a mix of awkward humor, political friction, and sobering reminders of the risks journalists and staff face. Trump dodged tough questions, while Weijia Jiang warned against undermining the press — a core pillar of American democracy. Security was tighter than ever, with QR codes, ID checks, and Secret Service reevaluations for every venue. The event honored the officer injured in April and the Washington Hilton staff, underscoring resilience amid rising threats.
