Secret Service faces scrutiny after Trump is shot at White House Correspondents' Dinner.

The U.S. Secret Service faces renewed scrutiny after an assassination attempt on President Donald Trump at the 2026 White House Correspondents’ Dinner, where armed agents responded to gunfire. Cole Allen, the suspect, appeared in court, with prosecutors describing the attack as premeditated. While officials praised the agents' heroism and denied a security lapse, the incident marks the third serious threat to Trump in two years and has prompted criticism of the agency's preparedness.
