Trump's reaction

In a CBS 60 Minutes interview the next day, the 79-year-old president said he wasn't worried, that he felt very safe once officers entered, and he noted Melania's upset reaction on her 56th birthday. He criticized the airing of passages from the suspect's manifesto and denied allegations referenced there, saying he had been cleared.

Suspect, charges and fallout

White House officials say the suspect's written manifesto targeted administration officials and that his social posts showed anti-Trump and anti-Christian rhetoric. Reports linked a LinkedIn profile to Allen, listing work at C2 Education and studies at Caltech and California State University, Dominguez Hills; the university said it could not confirm identity. U.S. authorities say he faces charges including using a firearm during a crime of violence and assault on a federal officer. Trump urged the dinner be rescheduled rather than canceled.
