Cole Allen Remains in Custody After Trump Assassination Attempt Charge
Cole Allen agreed to stay in jail as prosecutors said he planned a mass shooting targeting President Donald Trump and other officials.
- Cole Allen, 31, agreed on Thursday to remain in custody while facing charges of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents Dinner. His attorney, Tezira Abe, did not immediately contest prosecutors' arguments that he poses a danger to the community.
- Allen allegedly stormed a security checkpoint and fired a shotgun outside the Washington Hilton on Saturday during the White House Correspondents Dinner, reportedly targeting the ballroom where nearly 2,600 attendees gathered.
- Prosecutors allege Allen traveled by train from his California hometown armed with a shotgun, a.38-caliber pistol, knives and daggers, citing an email sent on the night of the shooting in which he allegedly referred to President Donald Trump as a traitor.
- Defense attorney Tezira Abe challenged the prosecution narrative, highlighting that Allen has no prior arrests or convictions and questioning whether Allen actually shot a Secret Service agent, contradicting initial official claims.
- Allen faces three charges: attempted assassination, discharging a firearm during a crime of violence, and illegally transporting guns and ammunition across state lines. He has not yet entered a plea as the Department of Justice prepares its case.
