The White House dinner shooting accused did not refer to the US president directly in the manifesto but reportedly listed his targets as “Administration officials".

US President Donald Trump has dismissed the “paedophile" charge by the shooting suspect in his manifesto, which he sent out to his family members before opening fire at the White House dinner and asserted that he did not rape anyone.

Trump also labelled the accused, Cole Tomas Allen, as “radicalised" and “anti-Christian" and called him a “pretty sick guy".

“He did write that. I am not a rapist. I did not rape anybody. I am not a paedophile. You read that crap from some sick person," Trump said, in his interview with 60 Minutes.

In his manifesto, Cole Tomas Allen wrote: “I am no longer willing to permit a paedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes."

The 31-year-old did not refer to the US president in the manifesto but reportedly listed his targets as “Administration officials", leaving only FBI Director Kash Patel.

“Like, this level of incompetence is insane, and I very sincerely hope it’s corrected by the time this country gets actually competent leadership again," he also wrote.
