Trump evacuated from White House Correspondents’ dinner
President Trump and other top government officials were evacuated from the annual dinner of White House correspondents after a security threat. Secret Service agents removed the president, vice president, and Cabinet members from the ballroom of the Washington Hilton. Attendees say they heard what sounded like gunshots outside the ballroom, which was packed with about 3-thousand guests. Many in the crowd ducked under their dinner tables. Details have yet to be confirmed at this hour. At first, it appeared the dinner was going to be canceled. But the latest word is that President Trump will be returning to the dinner despite the security incident and ensuing chaos.
