White House Dinner Rescheduled Amid Security Surge | Fargo News

The White House Correspondents’ Dinner is back — rescheduled for July 24 after an assassination attempt derailed the original April date. The event now takes place at the Waldorf-Astoria, just blocks from the White House, with Secret Service on high alert. The suspect, 31-year-old Cole Allen, faces charges for bringing weapons to the original venue, including a shotgun, pistol, and knives — though a Secret Service agent survived thanks to a bulletproof vest. Secret Service Director Sean Curran says the agency has reviewed the new location thoroughly and is bracing for what he calls the most intense threat environment he’s ever seen, citing a 40% surge in investigations this year. Internally, the agency is also investigating after an agent was removed from VP JD Vance’s detail amid safety concerns — and amid reports of frustrated agents pushing back against last-minute schedule changes, including a canceled helicopter trip for Vance and his son, which the agency says is for operational security.
