Cole Allen, 31, was charged Monday with attempted assassination of President Trump and weapons offences after authorities say he rushed a security checkpoint at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday armed with multiple weapons and exchanged gunfire with law enforcement. The incident occurred at the Washington Hilton where the annual dinner was being held, and Allen appeared in court Monday for his initial appearance. This is the first major security incident at the dinner since its inception, raising questions about how an armed suspect breached security checkpoints designed specifically to prevent such incidents.
