A man accused of carrying out a shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner is scheduled to make his appearance before a federal judge to answer to criminal charges.
The incident occurred during the annual media event held at the Washington Hilton on Saturday night, forcing Secret Service personnel to quickly evacuate President Trump along with other government officials from the premises.
Law enforcement officers successfully apprehended a suspect following the shooting incident at the high-profile gathering.
Federal prosecutors plan to pursue multiple criminal charges against the accused individual, with assault on a federal officer using a dangerous weapon among the most serious allegations he will face in court.
