The man who authorities say tried to storm the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner with guns and knives was charged Monday with the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump and will remain at least temporarily behind bars as the case moves forward.⁠
⁠
Cole Tomas Allen appeared in court Monday to face federal charges in a chaotic encounter that resulted in shots being fired, Trump being rushed off the stage and guests ducking for cover underneath their tables. He was taken into custody after the shooting on Saturday night and sat beside his lawyers in a brief appearance Monday in Washington's federal court.⁠
⁠
Besides being charged with attempting to assassinate the Republican president, Allen also faces two firearms charges. He did not enter a plea.⁠
⁠
“He attempted to assassinate the president of the United States, Donald J. Trump,” Assistant U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jocelyn Ballantine said.⁠
