Donald Trump is set to return to the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington, D.C., on 24 July after the White House Correspondents' Association rescheduled the event following the armed disruption of the original April gathering. Trump said he accepted an invitation to speak at the dinner, which will now be held at the Waldorf Astoria, while the WHCA said the revised event will come with significantly enhanced security measures.
The news came after the spring dinner was cut short when a man armed with guns and knives breached a security checkpoint outside the venue, according to officials. The suspect, Cole Tomas Allen, has pleaded not guilty to charges that include attempting to assassinate Trump, and what was usually Washington's most self-conscious social night suddenly became something far more serious.
