WASHINGTON, D.C. April 25, 2026 — U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Judge Jeanine Pirro declared Saturday night that the 2026 White House Correspondents’ Dinner is shaping up to be one of the most memorable in years — all because President Donald J. Trump is attending and speaking.
In a video posted to X while stuck in heavy Washington, D.C. traffic en route to the black-tie event, the longtime Trump ally and former Fox News host beamed with excitement from the back seat of her car. Dressed in an elegant black off-the-shoulder gown with lace detailing, a sparkling diamond necklace, and matching earrings, Pirro told supporters:
“I’m on my way to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. The city is jam-packed — we’ve been trying to get around traffic for about 30 minutes now… This is going to be one of the best White House Correspondents Dinners in a long time. With President Trump taking the stage there… There’s no better entertainer than that man, the President of the United States. You can’t beat President Trump!”
Pirro’s enthusiastic message comes as President Trump makes his first-ever appearance at the annual gala as sitting president. He famously boycotted the event during his first term, frequently criticizing the mainstream media and the dinner’s “phony” atmosphere.
The White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, traditionally held at the Washington Hilton, draws journalists, politicians, celebrities, and Washington insiders for an evening of speeches and comedy. Supporters say Trump’s presence promises sharp wit, unfiltered humor, and a night that conservatives have long anticipated.
Pirro, appointed U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia by President Trump in 2025, has been a vocal defender of the administration and a staple at high-profile events. Her video quickly drew thousands of likes and supportive comments from across the country, with many MAGA supporters planning to watch the dinner unfold live.
The 2026 dinner took place Saturday, April 25. Stay tuned to Life News Agency for updates and reactions from the event.
