Cole Thomas Allen, a 31-year-old man, has been arrested and charged with the attempted assassination of former US President Donald Trump. Fresh court filings reveal that Allen allegedly tracked Trump's movements and had prepared a pre-planned email detailing his motives for the attack, which he described as politically driven. He was apprehended after breaching security at the White House Correspondents' Dinner held at the Washington Hilton Hotel, where gunfire caused panic among attendees. At the time of his arrest, Allen was armed with a Mossberg 12-gauge pump-action shotgun, which contained one spent cartridge and eight unfired cartridges, along with a Rock Island Armory .38 caliber pistol loaded with ten rounds. The charges against him include attempted assassination of the President, transportation of firearms with intent to commit a felony, and discharging a firearm during a violent crime. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche praised law enforcement for their quick response, stating that such acts will not go unpunished. Trump, who was escorted away during the incident, later remarked on the suspect's mental state and highlighted the need for improved security measures.
