White House to Review Trump's Security After Shooting at Dinner Event

White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles will meet with law enforcement early this week to review security protocols following Saturday's shooting at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner in Washington.
Cole Tomas Allen, 31, of Torrance, California, allegedly fired a shotgun at a checkpoint at the Washington Hilton during the dinner, with Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche saying Trump and senior officials were the likely intended targets.
Praising the security response, President Donald Trump stated, "I'd be up here right now saying they didn't do their job," while noting Melania Trump found the incident traumatic.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, head of the Judiciary Committee, will review security protocols with agency officials alongside the panel's top Democrat, Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois.
