Trump Returns to White House Correspondents' Dinner | Raleigh News

President Trump is set to attend the rescheduled White House Correspondents Dinner this Friday, after the original April event was abruptly halted by a deadly shooting attempt. Secret Service Officer Victor Gonzales was shot but survived thanks to his protective vest, while suspect Cole Allen, who pleaded not guilty, faces multiple charges including attempted assassination. Despite the trauma, the Secret Service insists their security worked as designed and is ramping up for the new venue — the Waldorf Astoria — with full security protocols in place. The White House Correspondents’ Association vows to complete the program, honoring Gonzales and Hilton staff with a special award, and bringing back headliner Oz Pearlman. This isn’t just about ceremony — it’s a powerful statement of resilience in the face of terror. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
