As the investigation into the assassination attempt on Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington deepens, new evidence has emerged regarding the preparation process of the assailant, Cole Allen. The attacker was seen carrying weapons and knives on his person.
Striking evidence photographs shedding light on the preparation process of the attacker, Cole Allen, have emerged as the investigation into the assassination attempt targeting President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) dinner held in Washington deepens.
PHOTOS TAKEN BEFORE THE ATTACK ON THE AGENDA
The most notable evidence leaked from the investigation file was a photograph of the attacker, Cole Allen, reportedly taken shortly before the act. This image has prompted the question in the US public: "How was this prevented?"
In the shared photograph, Cole Allen is clearly seen wearing tactical vest-like gear not used by civilians in daily life, carrying multiple cutting tools/knives and equipment attached to this gear.
ARMED POSE IN THE HOTEL CONFIRMS PLANNED ASSASSINATION
The photo taken by the attacker himself in the hotel room just before the attack proves that the incident was not a momentary outburst of anger but a coldly planned assassination attempt.
In this photograph, identifiable as being in a hotel room from the details, Cole Allen appears remarkably calm and even cheerful in his mirror selfie, displaying the weapons he is carrying.
How Allen managed to bring these weapons into the hotel before the important dinner involving the US President remains a mystery.
"TARGET LIST" WIDELY DISCUSSED
Other findings combined with these images further heighten the gravity of the incident. It was determined that Cole Tomas Allen from California had prepared an assassination list targeting officials in the Trump administration "in order of priority."
During the clash at the security checkpoint, a bullet fired by Allen struck a Secret Service agent; the bullet hit the bulletproof vest, and the agent miraculously escaped without injury.
At that moment, Trump and other senior officials were hastily evacuated from the hall.
BEING TRIED WITH A DEMAND FOR LIFE IMPRISONMENT
Arrested for crimes including "attempted assassination of the US President" and "assault on a federal officer," Cole Allen is being tried with a demand for a life sentence.
These shared evidence photographs have been entered into the file as the strongest evidence supporting the prosecution's claim of a "planned act."
