The US Secret Service has outlined security arrangements for the rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, intended to protect President Donald Trump and other attendees. The heightened measures follow an alleged assassination attempt in April, when a gunman reportedly breached a security checkpoint and forced the original event to be abandoned.

The dinner is due to take place on Friday night after being postponed from its original April date. Fox News reports that the suspected attacker, Cole Allen, was seen at the Washington Hilton on 24 April and allegedly possessed an extensive range of weapons; he has since appeared in federal court, where a judge raised concerns about his solitary confinement.
