US EditionTrump says 'I guess' when asked if he was target of gala attacker
Blanche said investigators believe the suspect targeted administration officials, and the Justice Department called the incident an assassination attempt on President Trump.
- On Saturday, an assassination attempt targeted President Donald Trump at the Washington Hilton, where investigators say Cole Tomas Allen intended to attack administration officials.
- Allen allegedly traveled by train from California to Washington, staying at the hotel to bypass airport security and enter the event's protective cordon.
- Carrying knives and legal firearms purchased in 2023 and 2025, the gunman fired a shotgun in a lobby above the 2,600-person ballroom, injuring one Secret Service officer.
- Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche hailed the response as a "massive security success story" on Sunday, despite some officials raising concerns regarding surveillance footage of the incident.
- The Saturday incident follows two previous assassination attempts against Trump in Pennsylvania and Florida, echoing a 1981 attack on President Ronald Reagan at the same hotel.
