This is confirmed by the judicial document in which the prosecution requests preventive detention for the accused, showing how Cole Allen used his phone inside his room at the Washington Hilton hotel, and took a photo armed thirty minutes before the assassination attempt against Donald Trump.

The accused wore a black shirt, black pants, and a red tie, and appeared to carry a small bag with ammunition, a shoulder holster, a sheathed knife, and wire cutters and pliers.
The document also contains photographs of the weapons that were seized when he was arrested: a Mossberg 12-gauge shotgun, a Rock Island Armory .38 caliber pistol, ammunition, two knives, and four daggers.
The prosecution presented this evidence before the Federal District Court of Columbia with the aim of convincing the judge at a hearing tomorrow, Thursday, to keep the detainee in preventive detention without bail while awaiting trial.

Allen, who could be sentenced to life imprisonment, faces a charge of attempted assassination of the president and two other charges related to the use of weapons. According to the prosecution’s account, he premeditated last Saturday’s attack for weeks.
In fact, the investigation states that the accused researched information about the Correspondents’ Dinner, which the president, much of the government, and more than 2,000 guests would attend, and booked a room in the same hotel as the event, the Washington Hilton. Allen, 31, traveled by train from California to Washington, crossing the country coast to coast carrying the weapons.
Before the attack, he scheduled the automatic sending of a series of emails in which he apologized to family members, explained his motives, acknowledged that he was willing to kill government members, and considered that the rest of the guests could be “acceptable collateral damage.”
