WASHINGTON — Mentalist Oz Pearlman was supposed to dazzle an audience of hundreds on Saturday night here with mind tricks in a well-lit hotel ballroom. Instead he found himself doing his act for a small handful of media executives in a darkened underground event space close to midnight.
MS NOW had planned to host a festive soirée in the site of an old subterranean trolley station in the heart of the nation’s capital, part of the usual proceedings following the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner. This year was going to be more auspicious — until horror struck just hours earlier: Authorities are still investigating an incident in which a man was able to get close to a space in the Washington Hilton where President Donald Trump was to attend — and deliver pointed remarks — to an assemblage of journalists, news executives, media honchos and government officials at a celebration of journalism that is woven into the social calendar of this city devoted to the federal government.
