Feds examine hundreds of suspected social media posts by alleged would-be Trump murderer: studies | EUROtoday

Federal investigators are scrutinizing hundreds of social media posts the place the person accused of making an attempt to kill President Donald Trump on the White House Correspondent’s Association dinner is believed to have referred to as him a “traitor” and complained that he was going unchecked.

Authorities suspect Cole Tomas Allen, 31, hid behind the usernames “CForce3000” on X and “coldforce” on Bluesky, the place he raged towards Trump on-line, in line with studies.

“Everyone already knows trump is a f****** awful person in multiple dimensions and no one has done s***,” “coldforce” wrote in April 2025, in line with CNN.

Another submit, from May 2025, accused the U.S. authorities of “treasonous behavior…that’s not fixable with laws, the New York Times reported.

Allen “used the moniker ‘chilly power’ in a number of on-line accounts” and referred to himself as “coldForce” in the emailed manifesto he allegedly sent to relatives before Saturday night’s botched attack at the Washington Hilton hotel, according to the criminal complaint filed against him Monday in U.S. District Court in Washington.

The Independent has reached out to FBI about the investigation into the posts.

The suspect allegedly wrote in his manifesto that he was “not prepared to allow a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my fingers along with his crimes” and that all members of Trump’s administration were “targets, prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest.”

Allen, who’s accused of traveling from California by train before checking into the hotel on Friday, allegedly ran through a Secret Service checkpoint while armed with a shotgun, handgun and three knives before he was arrested outside the ballroom following an exchange of gunfire.

A senior Justice Department official confirmed that Allen used the since-deleted X account, according to CNN, which said it reviewed more than 4,000 posts that are archived online.

The Bluesky account is also no longer online but more than 700 posts have been archived, according to CNN, which said Allen apparently began posting on that website in February 2025, shortly after the start of Trump’s second term.

“Put a traitor BACK in office, get treason like, I don’t understand why people are surprised by the US ripping itself apart,” “coldforce” wrote in a message last month. “I’m pretty sure that’s the expected outcome of having a traitor at the helm.”

In addition to the “coldforce” username, the profile of the Bluesky user lines up with Allen, according to the New York Times, which said the user self-identified as a “random Californian man” who attended “two totally different, secular, California-based universities,” is Protestant and labored as a trainer.

Allen is from Torrance, California, attended the California Institute of Technology and California State University, Dominguez Hills, was energetic in a campus Christian fellowship and tutored for a test-prep firm, the Times mentioned.

Allen did not enter a plea throughout his arraignment Monday on three felonies, together with try to assassinate the president of the United States. He’s being held with out bond pending a detention listening to on Thursday.
