- Donald Trump will address the White House Correspondents' Association dinner on Friday, an event rescheduled after a shooting incident in April.
- The original dinner on April 25 was interrupted when a man, Cole Allen, fired a shotgun outside the Washington Hilton ballroom where Trump and his cabinet were present; Allen has pleaded not guilty to charges including attempting to assassinate the president.
- The rescheduled dinner will take place at the Waldorf Astoria hotel under heightened security, with Secret Service Director Sean Curran stating they expect potential threats.
- The event will honor Secret Service officer Victor Gonzales, who was shot but stopped the attack, and Washington Hilton staff for their assistance during the April incident.
- Trump, who had boycotted the dinner in previous years, is scheduled to deliver remarks at the gala, which raises money for journalism scholarships and celebrates the First Amendment.
