The Justice Department released video showing an armed man breach security at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, raising serious questions about presidential protection at public events. PBS hosts later examined the incident’s political fallout, including the third alleged assassination attempt on Trump, a new indictment of a former FBI director, and a consequential Supreme Court ruling. Both PBS pieces cover the same event with no contradictory details.
