Marriott will allow press to cover Saturday's event in Tucson at which former Donald Trump advisor Steve Bannon will speak.

Bannon will speak at the Brian Terry Foundation Courage Awards & Benefit Dinner at the J.W. Marriott Starr Pass Resort, 3800 W. Starr Pass Blvd.

A group claiming that Marriott had banned the media from covering it plans to protest the event. According to Marriott spokeswoman Terri Worthington, press will be allowed at the event.
