Cole Allen charged in Trump assassination plot indicted on new count

Cole Tomas Allen, 31, of Torrance, California, was indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., on a new count of assaulting a federal officer with a deadly weapon.

The charge stems from the April 25 attack at the Washington Hilton during the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. Armed with guns and knives, Allen ran through a security checkpoint and pointed his weapon at a Secret Service officer. The officer was struck once in a bullet-resistant vest. The officer returned fire five times without hitting anyone.
