About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of a shooting at the Washington Hilton during the WHCA Dinner and the reactions surrounding it.
ABC News National Correspondent Steven Portnoy talks about how the Washington Hilton has been the site of nearly every WHCA Dinner since 1968, but questions are growing about security protocols at the event after last night's shooting. President Trump and his allies are using the incident to make the case for his planned White House ballroom, which has been held up by various legal challenges for months. What was it like inside the ballroom during the shooting? What are the reactions to rescheduling the dinner?
