We're learning that the suspect charging past security armed with a shotgun and pistol was likely targeting various members of the Trump administration, including the president himself. 
According to that attacker's own writings, the suspect, whose name is Cole Thomas Allen, a 31-year-old of an LA suburb called Torrance, was staying at the hotel.

Now, according to acting attorney general Todd Blanch, according to White House press secretary Caroline Levit, they are characterizing this and taking this as a potential attempt on the president's Like
