Judge denies correspondents’ dinner shooting suspect’s bid to disqualify Blanche, Pirro
Judge Trevor McFadden said the dinner attack case shows no conflict of interest for Todd Blanche or Jeanine Pirro, despite Allen’s claims.
- U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden rejected a defense motion to disqualify Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro from prosecuting Cole Thomas Allen's attempted assassination case.
- Defense attorneys argued that Blanche and Pirro's attendance at the April 25 White House Correspondents Dinner, coupled with their ties to President Donald Trump, created a conflict of interest warranting their removal.
- In his ruling, McFadden stated that neither official qualifies as a victim of the alleged crimes and found no evidence Allen knew they would attend the dinner.
- The prosecution proceeds with Blanche and Pirro intact on the case, as Allen faces charges for allegedly breaching a security checkpoint at the White House Correspondents Dinner.
- Allen has pleaded not guilty to charges including attempted assassination of the president and faces a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted on that count alone.
