Another Attack at ‘Hinckley Hilton’ Raises New Security Concerns

An attempted attack at Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner is spurring fresh questions about the security around President Donald Trump and other top officials.

The armed assailant, who investigators believe was staying at the Washington Hilton where the dinner was being held, ran past a security checkpoint before being apprehended after a brief pursuit that included gunfire. Administration officials said Sunday they believe he was targeting US officials, including Trump, who faced a pair of assassination attempts in 2024.
