The White House Correspondents' Dinner is set to take place Friday after being postponed in April when a gunman opened fire as he rushed through a security screening checkpoint at the event.
The rescheduled dinner will feature tighter security measures and a reduced guest count, according to CBS News. The Secret Service has been preparing new protocols for the event ahead of its return.
Weijia Jiang, a CBS News senior White House correspondent and president of the White House Correspondents' Association, is at the center of organizing the rescheduled gathering. The dinner is a long-standing Washington tradition that brings together journalists, White House officials, and public figures each year.
Details about specific security changes have not been fully disclosed publicly, but the reduction in guests signals a significant shift from the event's usual scale.
