The White House Correspondents' Association announced Monday that author Ron Chernow will be the featured speaker at next year's White House Correspondents' dinner on April 27.
The backdrop: Last year's dinner was overshadowed by controversy after comedian Michelle Wolf's roast of President Trump and his aides, especially White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders, drew sharp criticism.
