Court filing reveals new details and selfie photos in White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting case
Federal prosecutors filed a detention motion Wednesday containing new images and timeline details about Cole Tomas Allen, 31, charged with attempting to assassinate President Trump at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner on April 25. The filing includes a mirror selfie Allen took roughly 30 minutes before the attack, showing him armed with weapons including a shotgun, handgun, and knives. Prosecutors argued he should remain detained, citing his extensive preparation and calling the plot one of 'extreme political violence.'
