White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has pointed to the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner as a stark reminder of the importance of funding the Department of Homeland Security. The statement reinforces the administration's push for DHS resources in the wake of the security breach. The shooting, which the White House has previously labeled the third major assassination attempt against President Trump in two years, occurred at the Washington Hilton hotel last Saturday night. Leavitt's comments link the incident directly to ongoing budgetary and security discussions.
