Man Charged With Attempted Assassination of Trump at White House Correspondents' Dinner

Cole Allen, 31, from Torrance, California, is charged with attempting to kill President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner at the Washington Hilton. Prosecutors say Allen wore tactical gear including an ammunition bag, shoulder holster, and knife, and took a self-portrait in his hotel room minutes before trying to breach security. He exchanged gunfire with Secret Service agents before being captured. Prosecutors argue he poses an uncommonly serious danger and should remain in custody. A hearing is scheduled for Thursday.
