President Donald Trump attended the dinner and later addressed the audience, mixing praise for law enforcement and the association with jokes about the press and political rivals. He said the rescheduled gathering showed that Americans “do not yield to political violence” and said differences should be settled “not with bullets, but with open and vigorous debate.” She said journalists in the room shifted into reporting mode as law enforcement responded and administration officials gathered information.
