Texas man is charged for breaching CIA headquarters just one day before Trump assassination attempt

By NATASHA ANDERSON, US SENIOR NEWS REPORTER Published: 14:14, 28 April 2026 | Updated: 14:29, 28 April 2026 A man from Texas has been charged for attempting to breach the CIA headquarters three times. The suspect allegedly attempted to breach the facility for the first time on Friday, just one day before a gunman attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner.  Federal prosecutors say the man 'accelerated into the compound' with his car on Monday after he peeled away from the security gate, according to documents obtained by journalist Scott MacFarlane. They allege he also bypassed security and entered the facility on Sunday by 'following a cleared vehicle under the raised barrier' at a secure entrance. He has also been accused of recently being on the grounds at the Pentagon. The suspect is scheduled to appear in court later day.  The Daily Mail has approached the White House, CIA and Pentagon for comment.  This is a breaking news story.   An aerial view of the CIA Headquarters, Langley, Virginia The comments below have not been moderated.
