华盛顿讯——白宫记者协会周二宣布,将把年度记者晚宴改期至7月24日举办。此前原定活动因一名枪手袭击在场人员被打断,当时总统特朗普、多名政府高级官员及数十名记者均出席了晚宴。

作为协会主席兼哥伦比亚广播公司新闻资深白宫记者的江伟佳,在致白宫记者协会成员的邮件中表示,改期后的活动将是一场“更私密的聚会”,并将采用“大幅强化的安保措施和全新入场流程”。

特朗普先生表示,他已接受下月晚宴的发言邀请,并称这是一张“‘热门’入场券!”

他在Truth Social平台上写道:“这彰显了力量与韧性。刚刚宣布,原定于4月25日戛然而止的白宫记者晚宴将改至7月24日举办。我们绝不能让疯子改变我们的生活方式,哪怕只是改变活动的日程安排,这一决定是件大好事。”

总统称,晚宴将在华盛顿特区的华尔道夫酒店举行,该酒店曾是特朗普国际酒店。江伟佳周二早些时候曾表示,有关场地的细节将随后公布。

“这场晚宴不仅是我们举办既定活动的契机,更是一份声明:暴力在美国社会无立足之地,新闻自由不会被恐吓至沉默。”她写道,“正如各位一直以来所展现的那样,勇气与团结终将战胜一切。”

她表示,协会董事会在征求成员意见后,决定举办这场补设的晚宴。

“我们不会让暴力行为占据话语权,尤其是在今年美国建国250周年、我们反思自身所代表的一切的年份里。”江伟佳写道。

这场晚宴原定于4月25日举办,但一名武装男子冲击活动外的安检检查站后,活动被迫中断。在场的特朗普总统、副总统JD·万斯以及多名内阁官员被疏散,记者和媒体高管则躲在桌下避险。

枪击事件发生后不久,总统在新闻发布会上表示,晚宴将改期举办。

警方已将袭击嫌疑人确定为31岁的科尔·艾伦,据信他从加州乘火车前往华盛顿特区,并入住了原计划举办记者晚宴的酒店。他被控企图暗杀总统、使用致命武器袭击联邦执法人员以及两项枪支犯罪罪名。

艾伦对所有指控均不认罪。在庭审前,他将继续被羁押。

检察官表示,当他试图冲过华盛顿希尔顿酒店宴会厅楼上一层的安检检查站时,携带了一把猎枪、一把手枪和多把刀具。执法官员称,艾伦枪击了一名特勤局特工,该特工被防弹背心挡下子弹,未受重伤。

White House Correspondents’ Dinner rescheduled for July 24 after shooting disrupted initial event

Washington — The White House Correspondents’ Association announced Tuesday that it will reschedule its annual press dinner for July 24 after the initial event was disrupted when a gunman attacked the gathering attended by President Trump, senior administration officials and scores of journalists.

Weijia Jiang, who is the president of the association and a CBS News senior White House correspondent, said in an email to members of the White House Correspondents’ Association that the rescheduled event would be a “more intimate gathering” and feature “significantly enhanced safety measures and new access procedures.”

Mr. Trump said he has accepted an invitation to speak at the dinner next month, calling it a “‘HOT’ ticket!”

“In a sign of Strength and Fortitude, it was just announced that The White House Correspondents’ Dinner, which violently ended rather abruptly on April 25th, will be rescheduled to July 24th,” he wrote on Truth Social. “This announcement is a very good thing in that we cannot allow Lunatics to change our way of life, or even its scheduling.”

The president said the event will take place at the Waldorf Astoria in Washington, D.C, which used to be the Trump International Hotel. Jiang said earlier Tuesday that information about a venue would be forthcoming.

“This dinner will not only be an opportunity to carry out our program. It will be a statement that violence has no place in American life and a free press will not be intimidated into silence,” she wrote. “As you have all demonstrated, courage and community can and should rise above.”

She said the decision to hold a second dinner was made by the association’s board after receiving input from members.

“We will not allow an act of violence to have the last word, especially during a year when we are reflecting on the 250th anniversary of America and everything we stand for,” Jiang wrote.

The dinner initially took place April 25 but was upended when an armed man charged a security checkpoint outside the event. Mr. Trump, Vice President JD Vance and several Cabinet officials in attendance were evacuated, while journalists and media executives took cover under tables.

During a press conference soon after the shooting, the president said the dinner would be rescheduled.

Police identified the suspect in the attack as Cole Allen, a 31-year-old who they said traveled from California to Washington, D.C., by train and was staying at the hotel where the press dinner was to take place. He was charged with attempting to assassinate the president, assaulting a federal law enforcement officer with a deadly weapon and two firearms offenses.

Allen pleaded not guilty to all charges. He will remain detained in the lead-up to a trial.

Prosecutors said he was armed with a shotgun, a handgun and knives when he attempted to run through the security checkpoint one story above the ballroom at the Washington Hilton. Law enforcement officials said Allen shot a Secret Service officer, who was hit in his bulletproof vest but was not seriously injured.
