First Lady Melania Trump drew backlash after speaking at the 113th Annual First Lady's Luncheon at the Washington Hilton. The White House said she would address the bipartisan gathering "to inspire community impact" before spouses of administration officials, lawmakers and business leaders. The event followed her involvement in efforts to update the foster care system during a House Ways and Means Committee roundtable. Hosted by the Congressional Club Museum and Foundation, the luncheon has been held annually since 1912.
