Lawmakers Demand Secret Service Accountability After DC Dinner Security Breach
Following an attempted assassination at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, lawmakers are calling for a thorough review of the Secret Service's security protocols. The incident involved a gunman, Cole Tomas Allen, who breached the outer security perimeter with a shotgun before being subdued. The event, attended by President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and other high-profile officials, has raised questions about the adequacy of security measures. Senator Josh Hawley has called for an oversight hearing to assess whether the Secret Service implemented promised reforms after a previous security breach in 2024. The White House has expressed confidence in the Secret Service's actions, but the incident has sparked a broader debate about security at high-profile events.
