Longtime White House correspondent Helen Thomas has died, sources tell CNN's Candy Crowley and John King. Thomas was 92.
Thomas was considered the dean of the White House press corps, as she was the longest-serving White House journalist. She reported on administrations since 1960, when she began covering then-President-elect John F. Kennedy and his family.
Thomas retired in 2010 after she made controversial comments regarding Jewish people.
