Trump returns to White House correspondents' dinner after April attack halted gala
The smaller redo will honor a Secret Service officer and Hilton staff, with enhanced security after the April shooting disrupted the original gala.
- President Donald Trump addresses the rescheduled White House Correspondents' Association dinner tonight at the Waldorf Astoria, returning to the event nearly three months after an assassination attempt cut short the original April 25 gala.
- After Cole Tomas Allen allegedly fired a shotgun near a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton, the event was aborted and attendees evacuated as Secret Service agents neutralized the threat.
- Organizers shifted the gala to the smaller Waldorf Astoria with enhanced security and will honor Secret Service Police Officer Victor Gonzales, who was struck in his protective vest by gunfire.
- While 16 Cabinet members plan to attend, First Lady Melania Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are absent, citing scheduling conflicts amid persistent administration-media tensions.
- WHCA President Weijia Jiang stated the event "will be a statement that violence has no place in American life," though Trump's rhetoric leaves some observers questioning prospects for reconciliation.
