WASHINGTON, United States (AFP) — A White House correspondents’ gala at which a gunman tried to storm the event attended by President Donald Trump has been rescheduled for next month with enhanced security, the organisers said Tuesday.

Trump had to be evacuated from the dinner at a downtown Washington hotel on April 25 after shots erupted at a security checkpoint outside the ballroom venue.

California man Cole Allen, 31, has pleaded not guilty to charges including attempting to kill the president.
