Key Points:
- Investigators recovered a buckshot pellet from the bulletproof vest of a Secret Service agent shot at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, linking suspect Cole Tomas Allen to the attack.
- Allen allegedly fired a shotgun at the agent after running through a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton on April 25, and has been charged with attempted assassination and other firearm-related offenses.
- Evidence suggests Allen intended to kill President Trump, including tracking the president's movements and timing on the day of the event.
- Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche indicated that additional charges and an indictment are expected as the investigation continues.
- Allen's attorney has not yet responded to requests for comment.
