Trump Assassination Attempt Foiled by Secret Service

0:00On April 27, Secret Service agents fired five shots at a guy trying to assassinate Donald Trump, but they missed him completely and might have even hit one of their own in the chaos, according to the Attorney General. This all went down at a security checkpoint for the White House Correspondence dinner, where the 31-year-old suspect, Cole Thomas Allen, was. Pushing to breach the perimeter, Attorney General Todd Blanche broke the news to reporters on Monday, laying out how the agents rushed in, but couldn't take him down right away. Turns out, they only subdued Allen after he tripped and failed during the breach, turning a potential disaster into a take down by sheer luck. Investigators are still digging into the details, but this close call has everyone rethinking security protocols around high profile events.
