A federal grand jury in Washington, D.C. added an attempted terrorism charge against 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen for his April 25, 2026 attack at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, bringing his indictment to five counts including attempted assassination of President Donald Trump. Prosecutors utilized a local D.C. terrorism law due to the lack of a broad federal domestic terrorism statute. Allen, who pleaded not guilty, allegedly sent a manifesto targeting administration officials to coerce government policy before breaching security and shooting a Secret Service agent.
