Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Korva Coleman,
the man suspected of opening fire at last weekend's White House Correspondents' Dinner
in Washington has now appeared in federal court.
Cole Allen of Torrance, California, is charged with trying to assassinate President Trump
and of two other firearms allegations.
NPR's Ryan Lucas is following Allen's case.
Court papers say in early April, Allen made a reservation at the Hilton Hotel in Washington.
That, of course, is the same hotel where the White House Correspondents' Dinner takes place.
He allegedly booked a room there for three nights starting April 24th.
We previously knew they traveled by train from L.A. To Washington via Chicago.
The affidavit says Allen arrived in D.C. On Friday afternoon and checked into the hotel just a couple hours later.
It also includes what it says is an email that Allen allegedly sent to his family and a former employer shortly
before he tried to storm, allegedly tried to storm the ballroom where President Trump was.
