Assassination Attempt on Trump: Miller's Heroic Act

0:00On April 28th, at the White House Correspondence dinner, a 31-year-old man named Cole Tomas Allen tried to assassinate President Donald Trump, sparking chaos with gunfire. Security stopped him in the hallway of the Washington Hilton, while guests inside rushed to safety. Stephen Miller, Trump's deputy chief of staff, held his eight-month pregnant wife Katie to her feet and shielded her as they escaped. Allen, from Torrance, California, planned the attack for weeks. He booked a room at the hotel on April 6th, traveled by train from the West Coast, and brought a 12-gauge shotgun and a 38-calibre pistol. Secret Service agents exchanged shots with him. One officer got hit, but survived, thanks to his best. Online rumors twisted a photo of Stephen grabbing Katie from behind, claiming he used her as a human shield. Katie shut that down on Fox News, explaining he lifted her safely without touching her belly to protect their unborn baby. She praised him for putting her first amid the threat.

1:00The Miller's are power players in Trump's world. Stephen handles policy and homeland security. Katie was pressed secretary for Mike Pence. They've got three kids with a fourth on the way, and Trump attended their wedding. Acting attorney General Todd Blanche condemned the violence, stressing it won't disrupt democracy. Allen faces life in prison on assassination charges, plus firearms counts, and he's staying jailed as investigators dig deeper into the shootout. Stay tuned as this unfold.
