Unter Berufung auf neue Beweise, darunter Selfies, stellten Anwälte einen Antrag, Cole Tomas Allen bis zu seinem Prozess in Haft zu lassen. In einem am Mittwoch eingereichten Schriftsatz legten Bundesstaatsanwälte die bisher detaillierteste Darstellung von Allen's mutmaßlichem, wochenlang geplantem Vorhaben dar, Donald Trump sowie mehrere Mitglieder seines Kabinetts zu töten, die gemeinsam mit über 2.500 Mitgliedern der Washingtoner Pressekorps das jährliche Abendessen der White House Korrespondenten besucht hatten. Der Antrag der US-Staatsanwältin für DC, Jeanine Pirro, der darauf abzielt, Allen in Haft zu halten, enthält zwei Selfies des mutmaßlichen Schützen, der in einem schwarzen Anzug vor einem Spiegel in seinem Hotelzimmer steht, mit einem leichten Grinsen im Gesicht. Er ist mit zwei Schusswaffen und mehreren Messern ausgestattet, die in seinen Gürtel gesteckt sind. Die Staatsanwaltschaft behauptet, dass es sich dabei um dieselben Waffen handelt, die nach dem Angriff von Allen beschlagnahmt wurden.
