David Ellison to throw special little dinner in honor of the president

According to Variety, Ellison will hold an invitation-only dinner “honoring” Trump next week in the lead-up to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. The dinner will be held at the “Donald J. Trump Institute Of Peace,” which until a few months ago was known as the United States Institute Of Peace. Ellison was expected to be in Washington today to testify in a hearing about the potential Paramount-WBD merger, but was unable to make it due to the death of a family member. 

Another less-than-fun fact that Variety highlights in its reporting is that CBS News invited Pete Hegseth and Stephen Miller as its guests for the WHCD, which was first reported last week by Breaker. That event takes place on April 25, and will feature magician and mentalist Oz Pearlman. This is the first time that Trump is expected to attend the event.
