Jennifer Rauchet, Pete Hegseth’s wife, reportedly attended a major high-profile WH event wearing a dress that is available through a major marketplace for inexpensive clothing. 😳 According to new information, she did something similar on three additional occasions — images are shared in the comments. ⬇️

Crucially, Carroll also revealed that Allen is believed to have been a guest at the Washington Hilton, meaning he may have had legitimate access to the event before allegedly opening fire. Police have “secured a room” at the hotel to determine what was inside.

Authorities said Allen was not struck by gunfire during the confrontation but was taken to a hospital for evaluation and treatment. Mayor Bowser stated there is “no reason to believe at this time that anyone else was involved.”

FBI Director Kash Patel said investigators will be looking “thoroughly” into Allen’s background and urged the public to share “any information whatsoever related to this event.” The FBI is examining ballistics and a long gun recovered from the scene and is actively interviewing witnesses.

And then there’s this: Federal Election Commission records show that Allen donated $25 to Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign in October 2024, a detail that was quick to fuel speculation about motive, even as investigators were careful not to jump to conclusions.

President Trump, when asked whether political violence concerns him, gave a characteristically candid response: “I am concerned, but I cannot be too worried because being president is ‘a dangerous profession.'”

He said the shooting “unified” the room.

As for the White House Correspondents’ Dinner itself, it will be rescheduled. The president promised the rescheduled event will be “safer,” and we have little doubt the security operation next time around will be unlike anything Washington has seen before.
