"Quite an evening in D.C. Secret Service and Law Enforcement did a fantastic job. They acted quickly and bravely. The shooter has been apprehended, and I have recommended that we LET THE SHOW GO ON but, will entirely be guided by Law Enforcement."
"Regardless of that decision, the evening will be much different than planned, and we'll just, plain, have to do it again."
The White House Correspondents' Dinner resumed after a shooting incident at the Washington Hilton Hotel. President Trump confirmed the shooter was apprehended and praised the Secret Service and local law enforcement for their quick response. He recommended that the event continue, emphasizing that the final decision rested with the White House Correspondents' Association. WHCA President Weija Jiang informed attendees that the dinner would go on despite the chaos. This marked Trump's first appearance at the event since becoming president in 2017, following multiple assassination attempts against him.
