Trump Returns to White House Correspondents' Dinner, Three Months After Shooting
Donald Trump attended the rescheduled White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) dinner on Friday, July 24, 2026, in Washington under enhanced security. The original event on April 25, 2026, was interrupted by gunfire when Cole Allen, 31, attempted to enter the ballroom, forcing Trump's chaotic evacuation. Allen, charged with attempted assassination, pleaded not guilty. The dinner moved from the Washington Hilton to the Waldorf Astoria, a former Trump hotel, in a smaller, more intimate format.
