President Donald Trump was asked about conspiracies that the shooting outside the White House Correspondents' Association dinner was staged in an April 26 "60 Minutes" interview.
There has not been any evidence released that the incident was staged or that the suspected shooter, 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen, acted out of any reason besides his own motivations. Police are still piecing together information about the incident, but Allen has been charged with attempting to assassinate Trump.
Countless social media users have raised questions or false accusations that the shooting was staged. It wouldn't be the first time; many conspiracies about the assassination attempt on Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July 2024 still persist today.
Trump was interviewed by CBS News' Norah O'Donnell about the incident, where she asked Trump about those conspiracies. Here is what he had to say.
