Cole Allen, the man accused of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump and other American officials, wrote a manifesto of more than 1,000 words before the attack, outlining his motives and planned actions, according to material obtained by the New York Post.

The document, signed “Cole ‘coldForce’ ‘Friendly Federal Assassin’ Allen,” included what he described as “rules of engagement” and stated he believed it was his “righteous duty to target administration officials.”

In the text, Allen apologized to multiple groups, writing, “So I may have given a lot of people a surprise today. Let me start off by apologizing to everyone whose trust I abused.”

He also wrote, “I don’t expect forgiveness, but if I could have seen any other way to get this close, I would have taken it. Again, my sincere apologies.”

Allen identified himself in the document as “a citizen of the United States of America” and wrote that he was “no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.”

The manifesto included a list of intended targets and limitations. “Administration officials (not including Mr. Patel [FBI Director Kash Patel]): they are targets, prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest,” he wrote, adding that Secret Service personnel were “targets only if necessary.”

He specified that “Hotel Employees: not targets at all” and “Guests: not targets at all,” while stating he would use buckshot “to minimize casualties.”

In a section addressing anticipated criticism, Allen wrote, “Gotta start somewhere,” and defended his actions in religious and political terms.

The document concluded with messages to family, friends, colleagues, and students, followed by criticism of security measures at the location. “Like, this level of incompetence is insane,” he wrote, claiming there was “No damn security. Not in transport. Not in the hotel. Not in the event.”

Allen also described his emotional state, writing, “It’s awful. I want to throw up; I want to cry for all the things I wanted to do and never will.”

Authorities continue to review the material as part of the ongoing investigation.

Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) said on Friday that police in Margate, Fla., which is within his district, arrested a former felon, who had a rifle, suppressor and body armor, “not far from my home.”

“Found with him was a manifesto that, among other things, included antisemitic rhetoric and only my name on the ‘target’ list,” the congressman stated. He referred to the incident as a “potential plot on my life.”

“There are many other details that I will not disclose, as I do not want to interfere with an ongoing investigation,” he stated, noting that the Margate police, U.S. marshals, FBI, Capitol Police and the U.S. attorney’s office were involved.

“As someone who was appointed to the Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Donald J. Trump, I understand the failures and importance of fixing the protection of our current and future commander-in-chief and vice president,” Moskowitz stated.

“At the same time, I am deeply worried about congressional member security and the significant lack thereof when we are in the district.”

“Regardless of our political affiliations or differences, we all have families we want to keep safe,” he said.

Several of Moskowitz’s colleagues from both sides of the aisle responded to his post.

“Political violence has no place in our country. This violent antisemitic hate is despicable and must be confronted to the fullest extent of the law,” wrote Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-Fla.).

“Lourdes and I are praying for our friend, neighbor and colleague, Congressman Jared Moskowitz and his family.”

“This is deeply disturbing and unacceptable. Antisemitism, political violence and hate must face the fullest force of the law,” wrote Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.). “We’re thinking of you and your family during this difficult time, Rep. Moskowitz.”

“Antisemitic acts of violence like this and in Amsterdam have no place in our world,” stated Rep. Hillary Scholten (D-Mich.). “Please stand with us against this hate and build a better, safer world for all.”

“Political violence is never acceptable,” stated the American Jewish Committee. “We thank law enforcement for their swift attention to this threat, stand with Rep. Moskowitz and send a special thanks to all who serve our country.”

“Serving my constituents is a great honor, but it has put my family in danger,” Moskowitz said.
