A tense 60 Minutes interview with President Donald Trump took a dramatic turn this week when he lashed out at correspondent Norah O’Donnell for reading excerpts from the manifesto of the suspected gunman who targeted the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. The president, visibly agitated, denied any connection to the gunman’s accusations and called O’Donnell’s line of questioning “disgraceful.”
According to The Daily Beast, the confrontation unfolded when O’Donnell presented Trump with passages from the manifesto written by Cole Tomas Allen, the 31-year-old accused of attempting to storm the Washington Hilton on April 25, 2026. Allen allegedly sent the document to his family moments before the attack.
