President Trump watched from the head table Friday night as the White House Correspondents’ Association presented one of its annual journalism awards to The Wall Street Journal for reporting that has become the subject of Trump’s $20 billion lawsuit against the newspaper.As CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer praised the Journal’s work, video showed Trump responding with a smirk and shrug while seated just a few feet away on the dais. Minutes later, after accepting the award, several Wall Street Journal reporters approached Trump, shook his hand, and briefly exchanged words before leaving the stage.The moment unfolded during the rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Dinner, the first Trump has attended as president. Blitzer presented the association’s Award for Courage and Accountability to the Journal.In his remarks, Blitzer praised the newspaper for continuing its reporting despite legal threats and political pressure. He said the Journal’s reporting on Trump’s past relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein helped prompt the release of additional Epstein-related documents that “might otherwise have remained hidden from the public.”Blitzer also highlighted the Journal’s reporting on a birthday letter allegedly bearing Trump’s signature that was sent to Epstein. Trump has denied writing the letter, called the story false, and sued the Journal, its parent company, and reporters for $20 billion.
