Cole Tomas Allen, the man accused of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner in April, is facing a new charge of terrorism, according to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.
Allen was already charged with attempting to kill Trump and three other charges, but the new charge unsealed in a superseding indictment on Thursday adds a terrorism charge with not much detail.
