Cole Allen pleads not guilty to attempting to assassinate Trump at White House Correspondents' Dinner

Cole Tomas Allen, 31, of Torrance, California, appeared in federal court Monday and pleaded not guilty to four charges including attempted assassination of the president, assault on a federal officer, and firearms offenses. Allen allegedly breached a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton on April 25 and fired a shotgun at a Secret Service officer, who survived due to a bullet-resistant vest. Allen's defense attorneys sought to disqualify Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, both present at the event, from the prosecution.
