Former President Donald Trump directed criticism toward CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins during his address at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Trump specifically called out Collins, who received an award from the White House Correspondents' Association for broadcast journalism, labeling it a "fake" award.

The former president's remarks focused on Collins' recognition, which was presented by the association. The event, typically a forum for journalists and politicians, saw Trump engage in direct commentary on Collins' professional achievement.
