Blanche says authorities believe suspect in attack at press dinner was targeting Trump administration officials

Washington — Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said Sunday that investigators believe the armed man who charged a security checkpoint outside the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner was targeting members of President Trump’s administration.

“We do believe, based upon just a very preliminary start to understanding what happened, that he was targeting members of the administration,” Blanche said in an interview with “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan.”

The acting attorney general said investigators are still looking into the suspect’s motivation and speaking with people who knew him. He said the alleged gunman is not cooperating with authorities.

Law enforcement apprehended 31-year-old Cole Allen of Torrance, California, and said he was armed with a shotgun, handgun and multiple knives when he stormed the security checkpoint outside the dinner, where Mr. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Cabinet officials and scores of journalists were gathered to honor the First Amendment. Police believe he acted alone.

The president, first lady Melania Trump and Vance were whisked off the dais by Secret Service in response to the shots that rang out outside the ballroom. They were not injured. Other Cabinet officials in attendance, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., were hustled out of the room by security.

One Secret Service agent was injured in the attack, but was protected by a bulletproof vest, Mr. Trump told reporters late Saturday. Blanche said investigators believe the agent was shot by the suspect.

Police said Saturday night that the alleged shooter was a guest at the Washington Hilton, the hotel where the dinner is held. The suspect is believed to have traveled to Washington, D.C., by train, going from Los Angeles to Chicago, and then Chicago to the nation’s capital, Blanche said.

He is expected to face two charges: using a firearm during a violent crime and assault on a federal officer using a dangerous weapon, Jeanine Pirro, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, said Saturday.

But Blanche said the alleged gunman could face other federal charges as the investigation continues.

“There’s a lot of federal charges that could be in play beyond those two charges, but it depends on us understanding his motive, his intent, his premeditation of what led into him deciding he was going to do what he did last night,” he said.

Chaos erupted as the shots were fired, sending dinner guests scrambling to take cover under tables. While the attack raised questions about the security of the event, the president and administration officials have praised the Secret Service for their swift response to the attack.

Mr. Trump told reporters that the presidency is a “dangerous profession,” and said the attack would not deter him from doing his job.

在叛乱分子于马里多地发动协调袭击的次日，马里政府军和图阿雷格族（Tuareg）武装分子星期天再度爆发激烈战斗，马里国防部长卡马拉在住所遇袭身亡。

综合法新社和新华社报道，马里首都巴马科和中部、北部多地星期六（4月25日）遭遇由极端组织和分离主义势力协同进行的袭击，袭击目标包括巴马科国际机场、马里主要军事基地、国防部长宅邸等。

据卡马拉的家属和一名官员星期天（26日）称，卡马拉和他的第二任妻子以及两名孙子，在巴马科郊外的家中遭遇汽车炸弹袭击后身亡。

与卡伊达组织有关联的一个马里极端组织称，从星期六清晨开始，他们和分离主义武装组织“阿扎瓦德解放阵线”（Azawad Liberation Front）协同，在马里多地发动袭击。巴马科附近的基塔、基达尔、加奥和塞维尔等地星期天再次爆发战斗。

此外，图阿雷格叛军宣称达成一项协议，允许支持马里军队的俄罗斯部队从北部城市基达尔撤离。他们声称，基达尔已“完全”处于叛军控制之下。

基达尔是图阿雷格人的据点。2023年11月，马里军队在俄罗斯瓦格纳雇佣兵集团的支持下收复这个城镇，结束了叛军长达十多年的控制。

马里军方星期六称，武装恐怖组织当天早晨企图在马里部分城市发动袭击，马里武装部队迅速反击，目前已控制局势，清剿行动仍在继续。

军方说已击毙了数百名袭击者，暂未公布伤亡人数。马里政府发言人星期六在电视讲话中说，包括马里军人和平民在内的16人在袭击中受伤。

Security under scrutiny as WHCD attendees cite inconsistent screening before shooting

Accounts of lax screening have not been independently verified, though multiple attendees described the issue online

Ted Williams calls out ‘lax’ security following White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting

Following a terrifying security breach at the Washington Hilton where suspect Cole Allen opened fire, former D.C. homicide detective Ted Williams joined ‘Fox News Live’ to analyze how the shooter bypassed outer perimeters and why the overcrowded ballroom left high-profile dignitaries and journalists as ‘sitting ducks’ during the evacuation.

A shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner is raising fresh questions about security at one of Washington’s highest-profile events, with some attendees describing what they saw as lapses in screening and access control.

While the Secret Service and federal law enforcement moved quickly to secure President Donald Trump and other officials, accounts from attendees and lawmakers have painted a mixed picture of the security posture at the Washington Hilton.

WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS’ DINNER SHOOTING SHARPENS FOCUS ON TRUMP’S BALLROOM CONSTRUCTION PROPOSAL

Misha Komadovsky, a journalist for Germany’s DW, shared a photo on X of the paper ticket used by attendees to gain access to the event, saying it was “the only thing required” for entry into the Washington Hilton ballroom. “There was no security screening prior to entering the lobby,” he wrote.

ABC News reporter Beatrice Peterson, who wrote on X that she has attended the event for more than a decade, offered a more measured assessment, saying the overall security posture appeared consistent with past years.

She noted that pre-event gatherings tend to be more fluid, while the dinner itself is typically more tightly controlled, and that security — both plainclothes and uniformed — is always present inside and outside the venue.

Peterson described the crowd and security presence as “typical-ish” for a year in which the president attends the dinner, suggesting no obvious deviations from past practice.

However, she said multiple investigations are expected to examine what happened and whether any failures occurred, adding the incident could permanently change how the event is handled going forward.

Harrison Fields, a former White House principal deputy press secretary, told “FOX & Friends” there were “no checkpoints to get into the hotel,” adding that the gunman could have been “roaming” and observing attendees before the incident.

“There was a VIP reception right off the main ballroom where Cabinet secretaries were, where the president could have been — and there was no security apparatus leading up to that point,” Fields said.

Fields acknowledged that the Secret Service and local law enforcement “took immediate steps to keep us safe,” but said there was “no real buffer” in place, which he noticed as soon as he arrived.

Even as some attendees described the security posture as typical, lawmakers offered a far more critical assessment.

Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., pointed to what he described as “glaring security issues,” even as he acknowledged that the Secret Service and federal law enforcement “acted swiftly” to secure the ballroom and move President Donald Trump and other officials to safety.

In a post on X, Lawler said there was no photo ID requirement or verified attendee list, which he noted is standard for White House events. He also cited the absence of magnetometers before entry to the ballroom and said multiple pre-event receptions with limited security created potential access points.

Lawler said the building remained open to the public and raised concerns about accountability inside the room, noting there was no clear handle on how many members of Congress were present or where they were seated.

He called for a “complete and thorough after-action” review, focusing on how the gunman moved from his hotel room into what he described as a secure area with multiple firearms.

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., who attended the dinner, also raised concerns about the venue itself. “We were there front and center,” Fetterman said. “That venue wasn’t built to accommodate an event with the line of succession for the U.S. government.”

Similarily, Kari Lake, a Trump ally in attendance, echoed criticism of the security measures. “I was there. Security was terrible at the event,” Lake wrote on X. “It was the easiest event I’ve ever gained access to that the president was at. It was so bad we talked about it at our table before the shots rang out.”

The Washington Hilton has long hosted high-level government events, including gatherings attended by the president, vice president and members of Congress beyond the annual dinner.

Last week, the First Lady’s Luncheon was held in the same ballroom, where first lady Melania Trump and second lady Usha Vance delivered remarks.

The Secret Service’s familiarity with the venue helped enable a swift response — and is one reason the White House Correspondents’ Dinner has been held there annually since 1968.

美伊对峙赌谁先眨眼：特朗普拒“空谈” 德黑兰坚持先解封

2026年4月26日 21:23 / 联合早报

（华盛顿/德黑兰综合电）美国总统特朗普宣布，取消美方代表团前往巴基斯坦与伊朗代表团会晤的行程，却也指这未必意味着重启军事行动。伊朗总统佩泽希齐扬则重申，美国不解除对伊海上封锁就一切免谈。

分析指，美伊双方互不退让，也都面对自家国内压力，正在赌谁更耐不住气先眨眼。

特朗普星期六（4月25日）在社交媒体上说，他已取消美方代表团前往伊斯兰堡与伊方会晤的计划。他写道：“此行浪费在路途上的时间实在太多，工作量也太大！他们（伊朗）‘领导层’内部斗争激烈，混乱不堪。没人知道谁说了算。”

特朗普的特使威特科夫和女婿库什纳原定星期六前往伊斯兰堡。

伊朗外长阿拉格齐则在同日较早前抵达伊斯兰堡，与巴基斯坦总理谢里夫和陆军参谋长穆尼尔会面。不过，他随后就转赴阿曼，与原定同日稍迟抵步的美国代表团“擦身而过”。

阿拉格齐形容这趟巴基斯坦之行成果丰硕，但也称，美国是否真心寻求通过外交斡旋结束战争，还有待观察。

据伊朗媒体报道，阿拉格齐结束对阿曼访问后，会在星期天（26日）晚上回到巴基斯坦，之后续程前往俄罗斯。

特朗普星期天接受福克斯新闻访问时说，他宣布取消谈判后的10分钟内，伊朗就送来一份更好的提案，但这份提案“仍不够好”。“美国已掌握所有筹码。伊朗如果想谈，随时打个电话就可以，但没人会再飞个18小时坐着空谈。”

记者问他取消谈判是否意味着重启军事行动，他说：“不，不是的。我们没在考虑这个问题。”

伊朗总统佩泽希齐扬星期六晚与谢里夫通电话时强调，伊朗不会在压力、威胁和封锁下谈判。他表明，美方应先解除对伊朗的海上封锁，为解决问题营造必要环境。

美伊海上锁喉互相勒紧 以军再轰炸黎巴嫩真主党

美国对伊朗港口的海上封锁仍在持续，而美国中央司令部星期六在阿拉伯海再次拦截一艘商船并押返伊朗。

这艘船由迪拜企业拥有与运营，因涉及运输伊朗能源与油气产品而列入美国制裁清单。美军说，自封锁行动展开以来，已有37艘船被令改变航向。

伊朗也不断展示对海峡的牢固控制。伊朗议会副议长尼克扎德说，伊朗最高领袖穆杰塔巴已下令，霍尔木兹海峡不得恢复战前状态。

与此同时，以色列总理内坦亚胡星期六指黎巴嫩真主党违反停火协议，下令以军猛烈打击黎巴嫩南部真主党目标。这使局势再度紧张，危及本就极其脆弱的以黎停火协议。

黎巴嫩卫生部说，以军星期六的袭击造成六人死亡、17人受伤。

分析：伊朗赌特朗普更输不起

美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）分析认为，伊朗在霍尔木兹海峡问题上拒不退让，或是押注特朗普“先眨眼”。

CNN指出，美国的海上封锁钳制了伊朗的主要经济通道，导致德黑兰石油储存危机迫在眉睫，食品价格上涨和失业率飙升也冲高了民怨。

但伊朗领导人也意识到，美国国内反战声浪日益高涨，加上11月中期选举将至，特朗普同样面临巨大压力，很可能更沉不住气先让步。

专家指出，伊朗面对美国压力与严厉制裁多年，已摸索出一套自我调适之道。除非华盛顿准备再延长海上封锁数月，否则难以彻底摧毁伊朗经济。

据估计，伊朗还能维持目前的石油产量两三个月。如果能找到其他方式来卸载石油，如使用退役油轮，储存时日还有望进一步延长。

CNN引述德黑兰居民报道，尽管鸡肉、米、鸡蛋、药品等基本商品价格已涨至原来的三四倍，但当地市场供应仍然充足。

陷入类似的经济困境，对伊朗人来说已是习以为常，但汽油价格持续飙涨，对美国选民来说却可能是场噩梦，将引发的冲击和政治效应难以预估。

美国代理司法部长：枪手目标相信是特朗普政府官员

美国代理司法部长布兰奇说，试图闯入白宫记者晚宴的枪手，目标相信是特朗普政府官员。白宫记者协会晚宴星期六（4月25日）晚上在华盛顿希尔顿酒店举行，结果刚开始不久便传出枪声，一名嫌疑人随后被制伏。 （路透社）

美国代理司法部长布兰奇说，已对白宫记者协会晚宴枪击嫌疑人执行搜查令，并称嫌疑人目标是政府官员，可能包括美国总统特朗普。

布兰奇星期天（4月26日）接受美国全国广播公司（NBC）新闻访问时说，根据“非常初步”的信息，调查人员认为枪手“确实有意针对政府工作人员，很可能包括总统本人”。

他说，嫌犯在过去几年购买了两把枪，事发前坐火车从洛杉矶经芝加哥抵达华盛顿。嫌疑人住在晚宴举行的酒店，相信他是单独行动。

他补充说，嫌犯将于星期一（27日）在联邦法院被正式被提控袭击联邦官员及开枪企图杀害联邦官员的罪名。截至星期天早上，嫌犯对于调查工作并不配合。

另一方面，布兰奇也说，他相信英国查尔斯国王在本周访问美国期间，将安全无虞。

白金汉宫发言人星期天说，查尔斯国王已全面掌握事态进展，并得知美国总统特朗普、第一夫人及所有宾客均安然无恙后松了一口气。

发言人说：“今天将举行多轮磋商，与美国同行及双方团队共同探讨星期六晚的事件将在多大程度上影响这次访问的行动计划。”

英国首相斯塔默与美国总统特朗普于星期天（4月26日）通电话，讨论尽快恢复霍尔木兹海峡航运的紧迫性。

路透社报道，英国首相办公室发言人在一份声明中说：“两位领导人讨论尽快恢复霍尔木兹海峡航运的紧迫性，因为当前局势对全球经济以及英国和世界各地民众的生活成本都带来严重影响。”

发言人补充称：“首相介绍他与法国总统马克龙共同发起、旨在恢复航行自由的最新进展。”

伊朗伊斯兰议会国家安全和外交政策委员会主席易阿齐兹星期天说，所有通过霍尔木兹海峡的船只必须缴纳通行费。

阿齐兹在社交媒体上发文说：“47年的热情好客时代已结束，所有想要通过霍尔木兹海峡的船只都必须缴纳通行费。”

德黑兰早前再度宣称完全掌控霍尔木兹海峡主权。

伊朗伊斯兰议会议员赛义迪星期六说，德黑兰已就管理海峡拟定综合方案，在那里航行的船只须有伊朗许可，若被认定为敌国船只则不得通过，以色列的船只更是绝对禁止。获准通过的船只须就安全、环境保护、航运管理、许可发放等付费。
