Allen’s Legal Challenge Fails

Cole Thomas Allen, armed with a shotgun, handgun, and knives, allegedly tried to breach security at the White House Correspondents Dinner — firing at a Secret Service agent who wasn’t hit. Charged with assaulting a federal official and attempted assassination, Allen now seeks to disqualify top prosecutors, including Acting AG Todd Blanche and U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, citing their presence at the event and Pirro’s ties to Trump. But Judge Trevor McFadden shot down the motion — no evidence Allen targeted them, and their roles aren’t tainted by the dinner or personal connections. If convicted on the assassination charge, Allen faces life in prison. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
