Donald Trump has recounted his experience during a security breach at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, where he resisted being evacuated by Secret Service agents as the attack unfolded. Speaking on CBS’s 60 Minutes, the President revealed that he delayed moving to safety to assess the situation. He described instructing agents to hold back as they urged him to take cover before eventually complying. The suspect, Cole Tomas Allen, a 31-year-old teacher from California, is believed to have traveled to Washington with the intention of targeting members of the Trump administration. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche stated that Allen faces charges for assaulting an officer with a dangerous weapon, with additional charges expected. Prior to the incident, Allen reportedly sent a manifesto to his family detailing his intent to harm administration officials, citing grievances against the President. The chilling document outlined his plan to use buckshot to minimize casualties and expressed a willingness to harm everyone present. Allen’s manifesto referenced allegations against Trump, which the President has denied.
