华盛顿讯 —— 被控在白宫记者晚宴发动袭击的科尔·艾伦目前面临袭击联邦执法官员的指控。
艾伦周二被联邦大陪审团正式起诉，共四项罪名，其中三项是上周通过刑事起诉书提出的指控——企图暗杀特朗普总统以及两项枪支罪名，还有一项新的罪名：使用致命武器袭击联邦执法官员。
联邦检察官在华盛顿特区年度新闻晚宴未遂袭击发生数小时后就对艾伦提起了指控，但直到周二才将罪名提交大陪审团以获得正式起诉。
检察官指控，4月25日，艾伦携带霰弹枪、手枪和刀具，试图突破华盛顿希尔顿酒店宴会厅上方一层的安检关卡，当时特朗普、政府高级官员和媒体记者正在宴会厅内用餐。
起诉书中还指控艾伦用霰弹枪袭击了一名代号为V.G.的联邦官员。执法官员此前曾透露，艾伦向一名身着制服的特勤局特工开枪，霰弹枪的弹丸击中了该特工的防弹背心，该特工未受重伤。
31岁的艾伦尚未作出抗辩，预计将于5月11日接受传讯。艾伦的辩护团队同意在预审程序进行期间继续对其实施羁押。
该案被分配给美国地区法官特雷弗·麦克法登，他由特朗普于2017年提名就任该职位。
周一，华盛顿特区的一名联邦治安法官批评了艾伦被关押的监狱的条件，称他对艾伦所遭受的关押状况“深感不安”。治安法官齐亚·法鲁基为艾伦在被关押第一周遇到的问题向其致歉。
艾伦的律师表示，艾伦上周抵达监狱后不久就被置于自杀监视状态，这意味着他被关押在一间铺有软垫的牢房内，灯光持续亮着，无法使用手机或平板电脑。一天后，他被降级为自杀预防监管，这仍然严格限制了他使用手机的权利以及离开牢房的能力，他的律师说道。
艾伦的律师周五表示，经过重新评估，艾伦被认定没有自杀风险，但仍被置于某种形式的保护性羁押中，导致他被单独关押。
Accused correspondents’ dinner shooter Cole Allen charged with assaulting a federal officer

Washington — Accused White House Correspondents’ Dinner attacker Cole Allen is now facing charges of assaulting a federal officer.
Allen was formally indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury on four charges, including three counts that he was charged with through a criminal complaint last week — attempting to assassinate President Trump and two firearm charges — and a new count of assault on a federal law enforcement officer with a deadly weapon.
Federal prosecutors charged Allen in the hours after the attempted attack at the annual press gala in Washington, D.C., but had not presented the charges to a grand jury to secure an indictment until Tuesday.
Prosecutors allege on April 25, Allen — armed with a shotgun, handgun and knives —attempted to break through a security checkpoint one story above the ballroom at the Washington Hilton, where Mr. Trump, top administration officials and members of the press corps were dining.
The indictment also accuses Allen of assaulting a federal officer referred to as V.G. with a shotgun. Law enforcement officials have alleged thatAllen shot at a uniformed Secret Service officer who was hit on his protective vest by buckshot. The officer was not seriously hurt.
Allen, 31, has not yet entered a plea and is set to be arraigned on May 11. Allen’s legal team agreed that he will remain detained as pre-trial proceedings play out.
His case was assigned to U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden, who was nominated to the post by Mr. Trump in 2017.
On Monday, a federal magistrate judge in D.C. criticized Allen’s treatment in the jail where he is being held, saying he was “very troubled” by the conditions he was subjected to. The magistrate, Zia Faruqui, apologized to the suspect for issues in his first week of detention.
Lawyers for Allen said he was placed on suicide watch shortly after arriving at jail last week, meaning he was held in a padded cell with the lights on constantly and no access to a phone or tablet. A day later, he was downgraded to suicide precautions, which still sharply limited his access to a phone and ability to leave his cell, his lawyers said.
On Friday, Allen’s lawyers said he was reassessed and deemed not to be a risk, but was still held in a form of protective custody that resulted in him being held separately.
