Additionally, on April 25, a shooting occurred in Washington during the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner. An armed man entered the event and planned an attack on Trump. The Secret Service stopped the suspect, and one officer was injured but saved by a bulletproof vest. The detained individual, Cole Thomas Allen, faces charges of attempted murder, assault on a federal agent, and illegal transportation of weapons.

According to Trump, the attacker was carrying multiple firearms. Reuters reported a possible motive linked to the conflict involving the U.S., Israel, and Iran, as indicated by a document from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Intelligence agencies are also reviewing the suspect's social media activity, where he criticized Trump, U.S. actions regarding Iran, and immigration policy.

“We have protocols, believe me. Not ones I can discuss, but protocols exist,” Gorka added.

The Resolute Desk is a symbol of the Oval Office, used by presidents such as John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump. The serious charges against Cole Thomas Allen highlight the gravity of the situation concerning presidential security.
