· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
A federal grand jury filed a new charge on Tuesday against the man accused of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner. Cole Tomas Allen now faces an assault charge against a U.S. official after allegedly firing at a Secret Service agent while the agent was going through security at the Washington Hilton hotel. Federal prosecutor Jeanine Pirro previously reported that the shot struck the agent's bulletproof vest, but he survived. Allen had already been charged in a criminal complaint with three other counts: attempted murder of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, transporting a firearm and ammunition in interstate commerce with the intent to commit a felony, and discharging a firearm during a violent crime.
