Federal Grand Jury Indicts Cole Allen for Attempted Assassination of President Trump

A federal grand jury indicted Cole Tomas Allen on four felony charges for trying to kill President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Prosecutors say Allen faces life in prison for the attack. Court documents reveal that Allen allegedly compared himself to the character Rambo and wanted to kill the president. Forensic evidence confirmed that a bullet from Allen's shotgun hit a Secret Service agent. Prosecutors presented their evidence earlier this week, and a grand jury formalised the charges on May 5.
