The White House are reviewing US President Donald Trump's security in the wake of Saturday's shooting
White House officials preparing for this summer's World Cup say reopening of the Department of Homeland Security is "essential" after a man was charged with attempting to assassinate US President Donald Trump at a gala event in Washington DC.
A dispute over funding between members of Congress has led to a long-running partial shutdown of the department.
According to prosecutors, Cole Tomas Allen, 31, was carrying a semi-automatic handgun, a pump-action shotgun and three knives as he charged past a security checkpoint at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner on Saturday.
He did not enter a plea when appearing in court on Monday.
