US Correspondents’ Dinner Shooting Suspect Enters Not Guilty Plea
(MENAFN) The suspect accused in the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting has pleaded not guilty to all federal charges, according to US media reports following a court appearance on Monday.
Cole Tomas Allen appeared before a federal court in Washington, D.C., where his attorney formally entered the plea on his behalf. He is facing multiple serious charges, including attempted assassination of US President Donald Trump, assault on a federal officer, and several firearms-related offenses.
Allen was taken into custody after a shooting incident in April at a hotel connected to the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner, an event attended by journalists, government officials, and political figures.
According to reports, his defense team is now attempting to remove several senior Justice Department officials from the prosecution process. Among those named are US Attorney Jeanine Pirro and Attorney General Todd Blanche.
Defense lawyers argue that these officials may have a conflict of interest, claiming they could be considered potential witnesses or even victims because they attended the event and later commented publicly on the shooting.
The Justice Department has been given until June 22 to respond to the motion filed by Allen’s legal team. The next court hearing in the case is scheduled for June 29.
