Selfie Moments Before Attack: Man Charged in Attempted Trump Assassination at DC Gala

A California man, Cole Allen, is charged with attempting to assassinate President Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner after prosecutors say he traveled cross‑country, checked into the Washington Hilton with an ammunition bag, a shoulder gun holster and a knife, and took a hotel‑room selfie minutes before he charged security; Trump was unharmed and a Secret Service officer was shot in the vest. Prosecutors say the plot was planned for weeks, and a Thursday hearing was scheduled as defense lawyers protest jail visit restrictions.
