A newly surfaced video from a different point of view of the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting appears to contradict U.S. President Donald Trump's claim that Secret Service agents forced him to the ground. Instead, the footage suggests he may have tripped during the chaotic evacuation.
Second Angle Emerges
The alternative perspective, captured by an attendee's smartphone, shows Trump stumbling as guests scrambled for cover after gunshots rang out at the Washington Hilton. The footage has sparked fresh scrutiny over what really happened inside the venue, with critics questioning the president's narrative.
Investigation Details
Investigators have revealed new details from the alleged shooter's manifesto, including a list of targets. The suspect, identified as Cole Tomas Allen, reportedly harbored grievances against political figures and media personalities. The FBI has since stormed Allen's California home, uncovering additional evidence.
According to sources, Allen's brother had warned authorities about his erratic behavior prior to the attack. The manifesto outlines a detailed plot, though officials have not disclosed specific targets publicly.
Official Response
The White House has dismissed the new video as inconclusive, reiterating that Secret Service acted appropriately to ensure the president's safety. However, the footage has fueled debate over the sequence of events, with some experts suggesting it could undermine Trump's account.
Meanwhile, the incident has drawn comparisons to the 1981 assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan, which also occurred at the Hilton. Security protocols at the venue are now under review.
