It's April 29th. I'm Cory with the story, and this is Entertainment and Celebrity News Today, your AI-powered entertainment report. A shooting outside the White House correspondence dinner, Saturday night, led to federal charges against a 31-year-old teacher from Torrance. California named Cole Thomas Allen. He's accused of trying to assassinate President Trump, along with two other gun-related crimes that could land him life in prison. Allen got arrested right after the incident and faced charges in Washington federal court Monday morning. He skipped entering a plea on the main assassination count and the firearm offenses. Steven A. Smith called out Trump for pushing Comer Talk while ignoring his own heated words. On Chris Cuomo's show Tuesday, Smith said he's not shocked by the reactions from either party. Both Democrats and Republicans gave the usual speeches against violence, but Smith doubts they really mean it. He sees it as fake outrage that changes nothing. This case highlights how tense political talk keeps fueling real dangers, and we'll see

what comes next in court as the story unfolds.
