Overview
- The White House Correspondents' Association selected a Wall Street Journal team for the Katharine Graham Award for its reporting on an alleged 'bawdy' birthday note to Jeffrey Epstein.
- A federal judge, Darrin P. Gayles, dismissed Trump's $10 billion defamation suit over that story for failing to show the paper acted with actual malice.
- Dylan Byers of Punchbowl News reported that Trump is expected to take part in presenting the honor at the dinner, though presidents do not formally give the award and his plans remain uncertain.
- The House Oversight Committee later obtained a sketch from the Epstein estate that closely matched the report's description of the card and signature.
- The dinner is set for April 25 in Washington, and Trump has said he will attend after years away from the event.
