More than 250 journalists and press organizations have urged the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) to confront President Donald Trump at this weekend's annual dinner, warning that his record toward the media makes his participation incompatible with the event's purpose.
In an open letter signed by prominent figures including Ann Curry, Sam Donaldson, and Dan Rather, the group called on the association to "forcefully demonstrate opposition to President Trump's efforts to trample freedom of the press."
