A surge of online speculation has erupted after a security scare disrupted the White House Correspondents’ Dinner at the Washington Hilton, with viral clips fueling claims that the incident involving Donald Trump was staged. Footage shows mentalist Oz Pearlman performing at the head table alongside Melania Trump and Karoline Leavitt when loud noises were heard.
