U.S. President Donald Trump has said that the suspect accused of trying to attack administration officials at Saturday night’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner had an anti-Christian manifesto and “a lot of hatred in his heart” but was stopped before the White House dinner ballroom.
The president said this on Sunday, April 26, when speaking with Fox News. He described the suspect as “a sick guy” and stated that the individual’s family had previously expressed concerns about him to law enforcement. The suspect, identified by an official as 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, California, was arrested at the scene of the Washington, D.C. event.

Targets listed in the manifesto included administration officials, although not FBI Director Kash Patel, prioritised from highest-ranking to lowest. The manifesto mocked the “insane” lack of security at the Washington Hilton, where the dinner was held, the official said.
