In a tense interview on CBS's 60 Minutes, US President Donald Trump confronted questions regarding a manifesto from Cole Tomas Allen, the suspect in a shooting incident at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. The manifesto accused Trump of being a 'rapist' and 'pedophile,' to which Trump responded emphatically, denying the claims and calling the reporter a 'disgrace.' The shooting incident occurred on April 25, 2026, where Allen was stopped before entering the venue, prompting security actions that included Trump and the First Lady being instructed to take cover. Trump downplayed the situation, stating he was not alarmed and suggested his presence may have complicated security responses. He also criticized media coverage and emphasized that events like the correspondents’ dinner should not be canceled due to threats, reinforcing the importance of freedom of expression in such gatherings.
