BBC’s State Department Correspondent Tom Bateman was in the room with US President Donald Trump and other government officials at the White House Correspondents’ dinner on 25 April. What started as a glitzy night, quickly turned to panic with guests hiding under tables.
Bateman talks through the timeline of how the evening unfolded. Though motive for the attack remains unclear, the suspect, 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen, has been charged with attempting to assassinate US President Donald Trump and two firearms offences.
