In Washington, where ceremony and danger have always shared the same corridors, a man named Cole Allen now faces federal charges for an alleged attempt to assassinate President Trump at the White House Correspondents' Dinner — one of the capital's most storied annual gatherings.

The assassination plot targeting the sitting US President undermines executive stability and security confidence.
