Cole Allen indicted by grand jury on four charges related to alleged Trump assassination attempt: sources
The indictment adds an assault charge as prosecutors say Allen monitored Trump’s movements and planned the attack.
- On Tuesday, a federal grand jury indicted Cole Tomas Allen on four counts, including attempted assassination of President Donald Trump and assaulting a federal officer with a deadly weapon.
- Investigators say Allen traveled from Torrance, California, by train and reserved a Washington Hilton room on April 6, weeks before attempting to breach security on April 25.
- During a Monday hearing, Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui apologized to Allen for jail conditions; Allen's attorneys argued he was held in restrictive confinement, though he was removed from suicide precautions on Sunday.
- President Trump was not injured during the attack and remarked hours later, "When you're impactful, they go after you," characterizing the suspect as acting alone.
- The Justice Department released high-resolution video last Thursday showing Allen sprinting past security; Attorney Jeanine Pirro noted the new assault charge followed ballistics testing on the injured officer.
