The man who shot at the dinner with Trump was charged with attempted murder.

The shooter of the reception with the participation of US President Donald Trump has been charged with the attempted assassination of the US president, and faces life in prison. This was reported on April 27 by CNN.

Cole Thomas Allen, the suspect in the shooting at a White House media dinner, is charged with attempted assassination of the president, as well as assaulting a federal officer with a deadly weapon.

The 31-year-old man appeared before the federal court for the first time on April 27. Investigators are examining a message that the suspect sent to his family after he was arrested: in it, he expressed anger at the administration, ridiculed the Secret Service for weak security at the hotel and said he was not "waiting for a pardon."

President Donald Trump said in an interview that he was "not worried" about possible injuries after the shots rang out, detailing how he and First Lady Melania Trump realized the seriousness of the situation.

Meanwhile, the White House task force, the US Secret Service and the heads of the Department of Homeland Security will meet this week to discuss the security protocol for major events involving Trump. The White House declined to rule out operational changes to Trump's schedule after the shooting, including the possibility of ensuring that the president and Vice President J. D. Vance would not attend events at the same time.
