The Justice Department has released new details about Cole Allen, the suspect in an alleged attack at the White House correspondents’ dinner.

Before the incident, Allen allegedly assessed the hotel’s security and noted how easy it was to bring weapons inside. He had planned the attack in advance, booking his hotel room early and tracking the president’s schedule. Authorities found additional weapons and ammunition in his room. This case highlights concerns about security at high-profile events and the potential for violence.
