A 31-year-old gunman who disrupted the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCD) dinner is believed to have been targeting members of former President Trump's administration, according to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.

A manifesto from Cole Tomas Allen, the 31-year-old gunman who attempted to attack the White House Correspondents' Association at the Washington Hilton, revealed plans to target Donald Trump and members of his administration, with one notable exception: FBI Director Kash Patel. Allen is expected to face charges of using a firearm during a crime of violence and assault on a federal officer with a dangerous weapon.

Authorities believe the attack was politically motivated, and Allen is expected to face charges soon.
