The U.S. Justice Department has added a charge of assault on a federal officer with a deadly weapon to the case against Cole Allen, who is accused of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on April 25.

Cole Tomas Allen, the suspected gunman at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, is facing an additional charge for assaulting a federal officer with a deadly weapon, federal authorities announced on Tuesday.

A federal grand jury indicted Cole Tomas Allen, the California man arrested at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, approving three charges initially brought by prosecutors and adding assault of an officer with a deadly weapon.

Cole Tomas Allen, a 31-year-old man from Torrance, California, has been indicted on a new charge of assaulting a federal officer with a deadly weapon following an attempted attack at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on April 25.

A four-count Indictment was issued in U.S. District Court today charging Cole Tomas Allen, 31, with Attempt to Assassinate the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, in connection with the April 25 shooting during the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner at the Washington Hilton.
