An attempted attack at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner by a lone gunman will not deter President Trump from fulfilling his duties and making public appearances, according to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. The incident occurred at the Washington Hilton, where shots were fired, prompting law enforcement to quickly evacuate the president, Vice President JD Vance, and other officials. Despite the scare, Blanche emphasized that the administration will continue its public engagements undeterred. The suspect, 31-year-old Cole Allen, allegedly targeted Trump administration officials and faces charges of using a firearm during a violent crime and assaulting a federal officer. Additional charges may be considered as authorities investigate his motives. Allen is scheduled to appear in court on Monday.
