White House Dinner Crasher: Threat or Lone Actor?
Description
Cole Allen, a 31-year-old from Torrance, California, faces charges for attempting to crash the White House Correspondents Association dinner and harm President Trump. He was apprehended after charging security barricades near the Washington Hilton, where Trump was speaking. Despite the altercation, Trump remained safe and was quickly evacuated. Allen had traveled cross-country by train, arriving a day early, and was found with an ammo bag, shoulder holster, knife, black pants, black shirt, and red tie. New court documents reveal Allen stalked Trumps arrival and sent an apology email with a shotgun blast. Prosecutors argue he poses a significant threat, and the case continues in federal court.
