The US Department of Justice on Thursday released video footage of the man accused of trying to assassinate President Donald Trump last weekend. The nearly six-minute video features several clips of a man walking back and forth down a corridor, and through a fitness center.

A more dramatic excerpt shows the man, carrying what appears to be a long-barreled gun, charging through a security checkpoint past uniformed police and agents in suits. Jeanine Pirro, US attorney for the District of Columbia, said on X that the security footage also showed suspect Cole Allen "casing the area" in the Washington Hilton during the day before Saturday's attack at an annual media gala in the capital.
