Trump Returns as Dinner Rescheduled | Oakland News

President Trump is set to attend the rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Dinner this Friday, honoring the resilience of journalists and security forces after a harrowing shooting interrupted the original event. The April dinner was cut short when Cole Allen allegedly opened fire, attempting to assassinate the president — he now faces multiple charges. Secret Service Officer Victor Gonzales was shot but protected by his vest and continued to act heroically. The White House Correspondents’ Association will present a special award to Gonzales and Hilton staff for their bravery. The rescheduled event will be held at the Waldorf Astoria with enhanced security, and mentalist Oz Pearlman will still perform — a powerful symbol of perseverance and the enduring spirit of free speech.
