The White House Representative Association brought down plans to show a comic at its dinner on April 26.
Amber Roven The distinguished artist was announced.
“Whica Board of Directors decided unanimously that we are no longer displaying a comic performance this year.

The White House criticized the choice of Roven, noting its previous humor at the expense Donald Trump. Trump is not expected to attend, and there are reports that his supporters are planning a competitor.

WHCA is wrestling with the White House decision in February to control who is in the presidential journalism group, and ends a practice that lasts decades as the non -profit organization has determined these participants. WHCA also supported the Associated Press in a lawsuit against the Trump administration, after the news organization was banned from the Oval Office and other White House events because its method instructions did not change the signals to the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.
In his observation of the members, Daniels wrote that dinner would “celebrate the US founding value of a free and independent press.”
“During the past two weeks, I have been planning to re -imitate our dinner for this year,” Daniels wrote. “With the approaching date, I will share more details about the plans in force to honor journalistic excellence and strong and independent media that cover the most powerful office in the world.”
WHCA has a long history of a comedy invitation to perform, after the President’s SchTICK, on a high -level and unaccounted mission. In podcasts, the difficult audio woven of the Washington Hilton Hall, as well as the difficult crowd of journalists and politicians, and in the past years, has noticed Hollywood celebrities. But some comic shows tightened the feathers, as happened in 2006, when Stephen Colbert performed in front of George W. Bush.
Trump exceeded all the dinner that was held during his first term, although he came in the past. However, administration officials attended. In 2018, when the comedian Michelle Wolf handed strong jokes about the Trump administration, including the then Sarah Sarah Hakabi Sanders, who was sitting on Des. A number of those in the crowd were silent during the provocative joking.
The following year, I completely dropped the Whica comedy, and went with historian Ron Cerno as the distinguished speaker.
