The man charged with trying to storm the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner and kill President Donald Trump took a picture of himself in his hotel room just minutes earlier, outfitted with an ammunition bag, a shoulder gun holster and a sheathed knife. The details are in a new court filing Wednesday. Authorities say Cole Allen, of Torrance, California, was captured Saturday when he tried to race past security barricades, prompting an exchange of gunfire with Secret Service agents. The government says Allen repeatedly made online checks to keep track of the Republican president's status that night and “intended to kill.” Prosecutors want Allen to remain in custody. Allen’s defender says he’s presumed innocent.
