0:59Now PlayingProsecutors released new details Wednesday about the suspect charged with attempting to kill President Trump at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner.
They say Cole Allen took this selfie on Saturday night in his hotel room dressed in black pants and a red tie. A closer image shows his various weapons.
It was part of a court filing today laying out the government's case to deny bail for the 31-year-old.
Minutes after the photo was taken, Allen was seen charging past ballroom security. He was quickly captured and faces one count of attempting to assassinate the president, plus other charges.
