A California man, Cole Tomas Allen, has been indicted on multiple charges, including attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner.

During the incident, Allen is accused of firing a shotgun at a Secret Service officer, hitting the officer's bullet-resistant vest. Despite the officer returning fire, no one else was injured. The attack led to the event being prematurely ended.

Allen now faces additional charges of assaulting a federal officer with a deadly weapon. His attorneys argue the government's case relies heavily on inferences about Allen's intent, which lack concrete evidence.
