- Cole Thomas Allen, the suspect in the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting, allegedly plotted the attack due to "multiple social and political grievances."
- A preliminary intelligence note from the Department of Homeland Security indicates Allen criticized the U.S.'s role in the Iran conflict, potentially influencing his decision to attack.
- Federal officials also cited an alleged anti-Trump document Allen sent to his family before the attack, which referred to administration officials as "targets" and was signed by him as a "federal assassin."
- Allen was recently charged with shooting a federal officer during the incident; the agent, who was wearing a bulletproof vest, sustained no serious injuries.
- Allen, a teacher from Torrance, California, has not yet entered a plea, and his attorneys allege he was unnecessarily placed under highly restrictive suicide watch conditions.
