Remember Cole Tomas Allen? He’s the guy who ran into the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner earlier this year to allegedly try to assassinate President Trump.
He was already facing a handful of serious charges but now he is facing a terrorism charge as well. The new charge was added by Jeanine Pirro, U.S. attorney for D.C., who is in charge of the prosecution.
This guy completely ruined his life. Hope it was worth it.
The Hill reports:
Man accused in WHCA dinner shooting faces new terrorism charge
Cole Tomas Allen, the man accused of attempting to assassinate President Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) dinner earlier this year, faces an additional charge of terrorism , new court filings showed Thursday.
Allen allegedly ran past security, shot a Secret Service agent and attempted to enter the ballroom to shoot the president at the annual dinner in April. He originally pleaded not guilty to attempted murder of the president, assaulting an officer of the United States and two federal gun charges.
The U.S. attorney’s office for the District of Columbia brought the additional charge of committing an act of terrorism while armed, claiming Allen attempted to kill Trump with the intent of influencing executive branch policy and intimidating a “significant portion of the civilian population.”
A California native, Allen is said to have written a manifesto prior to the assassination attempt that made clear he wished to target members of the Trump administration. His family was made aware of Allen’s plans minutes before the incident and alerted the local police, according to NBC News.
He probably thought he would be a hero for the left.
