Sharjah24-AFP: The gunman who attempted to storm the White House Correspondents' Dinner will appear in court on Monday, April 27, in what authorities are calling the latest assassination attempt on President Donald Trump.

The White House announced on Sunday that the suspect — identified by American media as Cole Thomas Allen, 31 — had been plotting to kill Trump and several senior administration officials during the annual gala on Saturday evening in Washington. Secret Service agents swiftly evacuated Trump, his wife Melania, and Vice President JD Vance from the ballroom as chaos erupted at the event.
