Kaitlan Collins

President Trump singled Collins out while speaking at Friday night's White House Correspondents' Dinner at the Waldorf Astoria in Washington, D.C. During his remarks, Trump noted Collins was being honored with an award for Excellence in Presidential News Coverage Under Deadline Pressure for her reporting on his tense Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy ... before turning the moment into a joke at her expense.
