Now the indictment adds a fourth count, assaulting an officer with a deadly weapon.

Prosecutors say Allen traveled from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., to try to kill President Trump at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

Allen was stopped by Secret Service agents second after he ran past a security checkpoint.

He is being detained pending trial.

He is scheduled to be back in court next week for his arraignment.

In a new court filing, the Justice Department says Cole Allen traveled across the United States with dangerous weapons to attack President Trump and other senior administration officials.

It says Allen intended to kill and he fired a shotgun while trying to storm the dinner.

Simply put, prosecutors say Allen poses an uncommonly serious danger to the community and should remain locked up ahead of any eventual trial.

The court filing also includes photos Allen allegedly took of himself around a half hour before the attack.

He's dressed in black with a red tie and has an ammo bag, shoulder holster, and knives on him.

A person familiar with the matter confirmed to NPR that a grand jury has handed up an indictment against James Comey.

The case revolves around a photo the former FBI director posted online last year of seashells on a beach arranged to say 8647.

86 being old slang to mean dismiss or remove, and 47 seen by some as a reference to President Trump, who is the 47th president.

Administration officials accused Comey of threatening Trump.

Comey has said he didn't realize some people associate the numbers with violence and took the post down.

This indictment is seen as the latest move by the Justice Department to use its vast powers to go after President Trump's perceived political enemies.

This was Allen's initial court appearance.
