WHCD attacker charged with attempting to assassinate Trump

Cole Allen allegedly breached security at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, fired a long gun before being subdued, and is charged in federal court with attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump, transporting a firearm across state lines, and discharging a firearm during a violent crime. Prosecutors seek his detention as investigators review a manifesto and recovered weapons; the case, which cites a potential terrorism charge, revives debate over WHCD security and the security needs of presidential events.
