Cole Allen, the suspect whom authorities have charged with allegedly attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump, pleaded not guilty on Monday.Allen allegedly stormed the security checkpoint at a D.C. hotel, where Trump was attending the White House Correspodents Association dinner, last month.
His defense has also indicated they may seek to disqualify the D.C. U.S. Attorney’s Office from the case if U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro were involved, given her attendance at the event, The Hill reported.
Trump was not harmed during the incident, which marked the third serious assassination attempt against him. In 2024, Thomas Matthew Crooks was killed by Secret Service after wounding Trump in the ear. Ryan Routh later attempted to ambush Trump while golfing, but was chased off by Secret Service and apprehended.
