Defense attorneys for White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting suspect request recusal of DOJ prosecutors

Cole Tomas Allen, accused of opening fire at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, filed a motion requesting that U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche be disqualified from prosecuting his case. Allen's lawyers argue the prosecutors have a conflict of interest because they were present at the dinner and may be considered witnesses or victims of the alleged shooting. The motion contends that allowing prosecutors who were present at the incident to oversee significant case decisions violates principles of prosecutorial impartiality.
