The Trump administration only provided a relatively low level of security at Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, where a gunman allegedly tried to kill President Donald Trump and members of his Cabinet, according to a report.
The suspected gunman, identified as 31-year-old Cole Allen, stormed through a checkpoint before being taken down by armed agents outside the ballroom where Trump and other top federal officials were attending the black-tie event.
Sources told The Washington Post that, under normal circumstances, when the president and several top Cabinet officials are gathered in one place, plans would be in place for the Secret Service to coordinate all security through a formal designation known as a “National Special Security Event.”
