The White House held a live briefing on April 27 after the correspondents' dinner shooting and the federal charge alleging attempted assassination of Donald Trump.
The White House has begun a briefing in the wake of the correspondents' dinner shooting and the federal charging decision that followed it.
Karoline Leavitt is expected to take questions after AP reported that Cole Tomas Allen was charged on April 27 with attempted assassination of President Donald Trump. Reuters reported that Leavitt described the incident as the third major assassination attempt against Trump.
The briefing comes after weekend reporting that a suspect breached security at the White House Correspondents' Dinner at the Washington Hilton and was detained after the shooting. One Secret Service officer was struck, but protected by a bulletproof vest.
Reports also said senior White House officials planned a security meeting with the Department of Homeland Security, the Secret Service and White House operations staff.
This is a developing live event. More details are expected as the briefing continues.
