U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday (April 26, 2026) that the suspect accused of trying to attack administration officials at a black-tie gala on Saturday night (April 25) was a “pretty sick guy” who had been flagged to law enforcement by family members.
Mr. Trump said in TV interviews that the suspect, whom an official identified as 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen, of Torrance, California, had posted what Mr. Trump described as an “anti-Christian” manifesto.
