Cole Allen, the man accused of attempting to assassinate President Donald Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, appears in newly released photos armed with two guns and multiple knives taken about 30 minutes before he allegedly tried to breach the event’s security.
The 31-year-old teacher from Torrance, California, took a mirror selfie with his cellphone inside his Washington Hilton hotel room at 8:03 p.m., appearing to smirk for the camera while dressed in black with a red tie and strapped with weapons, as seen in court documents released Wednesday. He was also allegedly carrying additional ammunition, pliers and wire cutters.
