“Trump” Says He Wasn't Worried After Media Reports Targeted Attacks on High-Level Officials

On Saturday evening, April 25, 2026, Reuters reported that an unidentified person, armed and breaching security, entered the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, which President Donald Trump attended. The event sparked confusion among the 2,600 attendees, prompting the Secret Service to evacuate the President and other VIPs. The event sparked concerns about security, with Trump saying, "When you have power, they hunt you down."

Afterwards, high-ranking members of President Trump's cabinet, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and senior advisor Stephen Miller, were led out of the throng and venue. During the subsequent turmoil, most attendees crouched.

Trump informed CBS News that the suspect wrote a document with anti-Christian ideas and claimed to be mentally ill. The US media reported... According to reports, 31-year-old Cole Thomas Allen was arrested after allegedly opening fire near a security checkpoint during the event. He is set to appear in court on Monday.

The FBI's Criminal Investigative Services and Counterterrorism Task Force are both investigating the event. According to US Attorney General Todd Blanche, preliminary investigations indicate that the suspect likely targeted high-ranking White House officials present at the event, and his motive is still being investigated. However, Trump has requested that the press dinner be rescheduled within 30 days and highlighted the importance of increased security measures.
