Cole Allen, the California man accused of trying to storm the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner armed with guns and knives, was on Monday charged with the attempted assassination of US President Donald Trump.
Allen appeared in court following a chaotic incident in which shots were fired, Trump was rushed offstage, and guests took cover under tables. He also faces charges of transporting a firearm and ammunition across state lines and discharging a firearm during a violent crime. He did not enter a plea.
