Trump to address White House Correspondents' Dinner after April shooting scare

President Donald Trump will address the rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Dinner on July 24, 2026.

The dinner was disrupted in April when Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, California, allegedly breached security while carrying weapons.

The event will be held at Washington’s Waldorf Astoria, a smaller and more secure venue than the usual Washington Hilton.

Trump is expected to briefly address the April security incident and may deliver jokes prepared for the original dinner.

Secret Service Officer Victor Gonzales, injured in the incident, will be honored at the dinner.
