The man suspected of attempting to assassinate President Trump and potentially other members of his adminstration has an interesting background.

During Saturday night’s White House Correspondents Dinner (WHCA), 31-year-old Cole Allen attempted to storm the event while armed with a shotgun, handgun and knives.

Allen has since been identified as a Californial teacher who recently won a “Teacher of the Month” award.

However, the Wall Street Journal has revealed further details about his life, including his financial contributions to the Democratic Party.

The paper reported:

Allen was registered as having no party preference, according to voting records. He donated $25 to ActBlue in 2024 with the memo “Earmarked for Harris for President,” according to Federal Election Commission filings.

Allen worked as a teacher at C2 Education, a private tutoring and test-prep company, where he was named teacher of the month in December of 2024, according to a LinkedIn post by the company that included the hashtag #InspiringEducators.

He also pursued a master’s degree in computer science from California State University, Dominguez Hills. He posted a photo of himself in cap and gown last year on LinkedIn, writing “*Pretty* sure my Master’s in CS is done!” He graduated in 2025, according to the commencement program.

Allen lives in Torrance, about 15 miles from downtown Los Angeles, in a middle-class neighborhood primarily composed of single-level ranch-style homes. A blue scooter was parked on the lawn, and a neighbor said he’d seen Allen riding it around the neighborhood.

Allen is due in court Monday and faces two charges: using a firearm during a crime of violence and assaulting federal officers with a dangerous weapon.

However, further charges may be brought in due course.

He was undergoing evaluation at a hospital Saturday night.

Trump, meanwhile, has said he is “honored” that people keep trying to take him out.

“The ones that do the most, they go after. They go after impactful people,” Trump said during a press briefing on Sunday evening.

“I hate to say I’m honored by that.”

NOW: President Trump just gave the PERFECT ANSWER

“Why does it [assassination attempts] keep happening to you?”

TRUMP: The ones that do the most — they go after. They go after impactful people.

“I hate to say I’m honored by that.”
