House Speaker Mike Johnson called on the Secret Service to “tighten up” its security protocols Monday after a gunman breached a checkpoint at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner Saturday night, an incident that forced the rapid evacuation of President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and other senior officials from the Washington Hilton. Newsmax reported that Johnson, who attended the dinner, delivered his sharpest criticism yet of screening measures at one of Washington’s most prominent annual events.
