Key Points:

• A California man accused of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents Dinner has been indicted on a fourth charge of assaulting a US officer with a deadly weapon.
• The new indictment, approved by US Attorney Jeanine Pirro, also includes charges of attempted assassination, firearm transportation with intent to commit a felony, and discharging a firearm during a crime.
• The suspect allegedly carried multiple weapons, including a semi-automatic handgun, a pump-action shotgun, and three knives, and rushed through a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton hotel on April 25.
• During the attack, gunfire caused Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and other officials to be evacuated while attendees took cover; a Secret Service officer was shot but not seriously injured.
• The suspect, from Torrance, California, studied at Caltech, donated to a Democratic PAC supporting Kamala Harris, and sent a pre-attack email indicating he viewed administration officials as prioritized targets.
