And make no mistake, it is not just the manifesto. It is his actions,\u201d Pirro told CNN\u2019s \u201cState of the Union,\u201d referring to Allen\u2019s alleged hate-fueled missive in which the mechanical-engineering grad and former NASA intern outlined his violent plans while calling himself the \u201cFriendly Federal Assassin\u2019 Allen.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Cole Allen smugly grins in his hotel room before allegedly trying to take out President Trump and others at the annual White House Correspondents Dinner in DC last weekend.  <span class=\"credit\">via REUTERS<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI mean, this guy thought he was Rambo,\u201d said Pirro, who was among the administration officials at the dinner at the time of the shooting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, he was armed to the teeth.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module aligncenter wp-block-nypost-editor-primary-tag\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>\u201cAnd he takes a picture of himself. He is smug, he is proud, and he is focused on what he\u2019s doing,\u201d she said, noting selfies the suspect took in his hotel before the shooting.<\/p>\n<p>Allen, the son of a church leader, was armed with a shotgun, handgun, and knives when he stormed the security perimeter a floor above the ballroom where Trump, administration officials and hundreds of reporters were on April 25, according to authorities.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Allen thought he was the famed Sylvester Stallone action hero \u201cRambo,\u201d according to the US Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro. <span class=\"credit\">StudioCanal\/Shutterstock<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In the suspect\u2019s alleged manifesto, which was first revealed by The Post, he stated his targets were \u201cAdministration officials (not including [FBI chief] Mr. [Kash] Patel): they are targets, prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The manifesto did not mention Trump by name, though there was one line that said, \u201cAnd I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pirro was unsure about whether that was a reference to Trump when asked about it Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re going to have to ask him that. I don\u2019t really care,\u201d she said, referring to Allen.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Pirro said Sunday she is confident the feds will be able to prove Allen intended to kill President Trump. <span class=\"credit\">CNN<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI think if you read the manifesto \u2026 it is very clear who the intended target is. It is very clear, based upon the fact that as soon as this president said that he was going to be at the Hilton for the White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner on March 2nd, [Allen] then made the decision to hatch the plan,\u201d Pirro said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can tell you, we will be able to prove that beyond a reasonable doubt,\u201d she said. \u201cThe one issue that people might think about is, is he insane. He is far from insane. He is brilliant. He has a master\u2019s degree. He work[ed] at a NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another question that swirled over the White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner shooting was who shot the Secret Service officer in his bulletproof vest, causing a minor injury.<\/p>\n<p>Early on, some observers speculated it may have been friendly fire. Officials had claimed that a Secret Service agent fired five rounds when Allen stormed through the security checkpoint. <\/p>\n<p>But Pirro was emphatic that Allen was the one who shot the agent. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Surveillance footage shows the suspect trying to barge through the event\u2019s security perimeter. <span class=\"credit\">US Attorney for the District of Colombia\/AFP via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When asked if the feds determined who shot the agent, Pirro responded Sunday, \u201cWe have. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s video of the defendant shooting at the Secret Service agent. We now can establish that a pellet that came from the buckshot from the defendant\u2019s Mossberg pump-action shotgun was intertwined with the vest of the Secret Service officer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is definitively his bullet,\u201d she said, referring to Allen. <\/p>\n<p>Allen is facing charges of attempting to assassinate the president of the United States, discharging a firearm during a crime of violence and transporting a firearm and ammunition in interstate commerce with intent to commit a felony.<\/p>\n<p>He was arraigned last week and did not enter a plea at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Pirro was present at the Washington Hilton during the shooting. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
