President Donald Trump is expected to speak Friday night at the rescheduled White House Correspondents' Dinner after the original event was cut short by a high-profile security incident.

What we know:

The dinner will take place at a smaller venue, the Waldorf Astoria, under heightened security after a gunman charged into the previous event in April, which was held at the Washington Hilton. It was President Trump’s first time attending the event while in office.

The White House Correspondents’ Association President noted that Friday’s gathering will be smaller and will include new guest access procedures. The president is expected to speak around 9 p.m.

"We are in a heightened level of a threat environment right now," said U.S. Secret Service Director Sean Curran. "It's no secret. There are things happening around the globe that are always going to impact how we move, and that's how we evaluate what our security plan is going to be."

Dig deeper:

The security changes come after an alleged gunman, identified as Cole Allen, stormed the dinner while armed and fired a shotgun at a Secret Service officer who tried to intervene.

Officer Victor Gonzalez was struck once in a bulletproof vest and returned fire. No one else was hit during the incident.

Allen remains in custody, with prosecutors saying the security breach was an attempt to assassinate President Trump.

He is facing multiple federal charges, including attempting to kill the president, assaulting a federal officer with a deadly weapon, and multiple firearm offenses.

In May, he pleaded not guilty to all charges and is scheduled to make another court appearance next month.
