Obama says motives of WHCD gunman Cole Allen remain unclear despite reported manifesto
Authorities charged Cole Allen with firearms and assault offenses as Obama said the motive remains unclear despite anti-Trump writings.
- On Saturday evening, 31-year-old Cole Allen stormed the Washington Hilton and opened fire at the White House Correspondents Dinner, forcing President Donald Trump, First Lady Melania, and Cabinet officials to be evacuated by Secret Service Agents.
- Evidence indicates Allen left a manifesto in his hotel room identifying himself as the "Friendly Federal Assassin," explicitly targeting Trump administration officials and labeling the president a "pedophile, rapist."
- Barack Obama wrote on Sunday that investigators "do not yet have the details" about the motive, urging Americans to reject political violence; critics challenged this by citing the manifesto as evidence of a clear political attack.
- In a preview of Sunday's 60 Minutes interview, Trump recounted gunshots ringing out, stating, "I wanted to see what was happening and I wasn't making it that easy for him," while calling to "resolve our differences."
- Prosecutors charged Allen with two counts of using a firearm during a crime of violence and one count of assault on a federal officer, with arraignment set for Monday and additional charges expected.
