Allen Back in Court Amid Assassination Charges | San Antonio News

Cole Allen, accused of firing a shotgun at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, returns to federal court for a major status hearing as prosecutors and defense lawyers update the judge on case progress. Facing serious charges including attempted assassination of the president, Allen remains not guilty. The judge denied defense requests to remove top Justice Department prosecutors, citing insufficient legal grounds for conflict. Prosecutors say Allen traveled from California armed with multiple weapons, bypassed security, and fired — luckily without seriously injuring a Secret Service agent. New photos show Allen with the weapons in his hotel room. This hearing sets the stage for trial, not guilt, as both sides prepare for what’s expected to be a nationally watched federal case.
