27.04.2026 ⇢ The Day the Dinner Shooting Suspect Was Charged
⌨
The dominant story on April 27 was the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting, with suspect Cole Allen charged with attempted assassination of President Trump. In the morning, outlets reported his manifesto expressing anger at Trump officials and his court appearance. By early afternoon, Trump called him a 'sick guy' and clashed with '60 Minutes' over airing the manifesto. Melania Trump blamed Jimmy Kimmel for a 'hateful' monologue, and Trump demanded ABC fire him. The White House blamed 'left-wing culture of hatred.' Late in the day, Allen was formally charged, and DOJ officials alleged a broader plot. Secondary stories included Iran's offer to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and King Charles' state visit.
