A federal grand jury in Washington has returned a new four-count indictment against Cole Tomas Allen, 31, of California, for the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump. The charges stem from an incident on April 25 at the Washington Hilton during the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
The indictment includes charges of attempted assassination, the discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence, and the illegal transportation of a firearm and ammunition across state lines. Added to these is a new charge of assaulting a federal officer with a deadly weapon, which formally accuses Allen of firing at a U.S. Secret Service agent at a security checkpoint.
Prosecutors allege that Allen was armed with a shotgun and a pistol when he sprinted past security in an attempt to assassinate President Trump and other U.S. officials.
Meanwhile, a federal magistrate judge has pressed the government over how Allen is being treated behind bars.
