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.

His case was assigned to U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden, who was nominated to the post by Mr. Trump in 2017.

DC US Attorney had to go to the grand jury eventually...

The judge, who complained about how Allen was being treated, will not be the judge in his trial after all...

Good to hear that Un-American, Pro-Disruption Judge is out.
Was it just random good fortune for logic, or did someone decide to ‘weed’ that biased judge out of the equation?

The first judge is a Magistrate judge. He is a gopher for Article 3 judges.
