Federal prosecutors released new images and details about Cole Allen on Wednesday, including a mirror selfie he allegedly took inside his hotel room roughly 30 minutes before he charged past a final security gate at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.
The image shows Allen dressed in black slacks and a black dress shirt with a red tie tucked into his pants, appearing to carry multiple items later recovered from his person, including an ammunition-filled bag, a shoulder holster, a knife, and tools such as pliers and wire cutters, according to the latest court filing. Prosecutors say the photo was taken at approximately 8:03 p.m. on April 25 while he was inside his room at the Washington Hilton, just minutes before going downstairs.
