The man suspected in the White House correspondents’ dinner shooting wrote a statement saying he wanted to target members of President Donald Trump’s administration and called himself a “friendly federal assassin,”according to two law enforcement officials familiar with the document. Acting attorney general Todd Blanche said Sunday that the suspect in custody, identified as Cole Tomas Allen, 31, of Torrance, California, appeared to be targeting members of the administration, and potentially Trump, but that the information was “quite preliminary.” Officials based their assessment on Allen’s writings, including a statement he sent to members of his family before the shooting, investigators said. Allen is set to appear in federal court in D.C. on Monday.
