Trump 'WH Dinner Shooting Suspect Wrote Anti-Christian Manifesto'

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday that the suspect accused of trying to attack administration officials at Saturday night's White House Correspondents' Association dinner was a "pretty sick guy" ​who had an anti-Christian manifesto. 

Trump said in TV interviews that the suspect's family previously expressed concerns about him to law enforcement officials. The suspect, whom an official identified as 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen, of Torrance, California, was ‌arrested at the scene of the event in Washington, D.C.

He was a



Christian, believer, and then he became an anti-Christian, and he had a lot of change," Trump told CBS' "60 Minutes" program. 

"He was probably a pretty sick guy." The manifesto was sent to members of Allen's family shortly before the attack, a law enforcement official told Reuters. 

In it, the suspect called himself the "Friendly Federal Assassin," the official said. "Turning the other cheek when *someone else* is oppressed is not Christian behavior; it is complicity in the oppressor's crimes," the manifesto read, according to the official.
