For the third time in less than two years, Donald Trump ended a public appearance by being whisked offstage by Secret Service while the room ducked under tablecloths and other solid furniture.
On Saturday night at the Washington Hilton hotel, a 31-year-old California man named Cole Tomas Allen charged a security checkpoint just outside the ballroom where the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was underway. He got off a few shots, according to Attorney General Todd Blanche, struck an officer in the vest, and was tackled to the ground before he could reach the lower-level ballroom.
