Cole Tomas Allen, the man accused of attempting to assassinate President Trump at the White House Correspondents' Dinner earlier this year, faces an additional charge of terrorism, according to The Hill's report on new court filings. The Hill said the filings were made Thursday.
According to The Hill, Allen allegedly ran past security, shot a Secret Service agent and attempted to enter the ballroom to shoot the president. The Hill presented these details as allegations, not established facts.
ABC News reported that Allen is facing a "new charge of terrorism," according to its account of the charge. The ABC News summary did not include the details of the alleged attempt at the dinner that The Hill's report described.
The two reports agree that the new count is terrorism. The Hill's report said the filings were made Thursday, while ABC News's summary did not say when the new charge was filed or describe the filings themselves.
Neither The Hill nor ABC News, in the summaries available for this report, described the legal basis for the terrorism count or the next court dates in the case. The Hill's report was written by Ryan J. Karlin.
