President Trump opened up on 60 minutes about that tense moment at the White House correspondence dinner. He spoke with Nora O'Donnell on April 26th, just one day after a gunman rushed a security checkpoint outside the hotel ballroom in DC. April 25th. Trump stayed cool, saying he gets how wild the world is these days. Secret Service agents took the guy down quick before he got anywhere near the crowd inside. He was packing multiple weapons, and they nabbed him right in the lobby. Trump spotted trouble first through first lady Melania's expression, but he wasn't sweating it. He spaced this kind of heat before, like that rally in Pennsylvania last year when a shooter grays his ear. Over his career, threats and attempts have piled up, testing his security detail non-stop. This latest scare adds to the list, showing how real the risks stay. FBI Director Caspatel confirmed they found a long gun and shell casings at the scene. Law enforcement on it, keeping eyes wide open as these stories unfold. Stay informed with El Paso news today, AI-powered updates.
