Trump's security again faces scrutiny after press dinner shooting

WASHINGTON, April 26 (Reuters) - The shooting on Saturday night of a Secret Service agent ​at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner raises questions yet again about the protection afforded to America's political leaders at a ‌time of increased political violence.
