Cole Allen’s Trial Begins | Washington DC News

Cole Thomas Allen, accused of attempting to assassinate President Trump at the White House Correspondents Dinner, appeared in federal court in an orange jumpsuit, cuffed and silent, as prosecutors continue building their case with evidence like photos and documents from a hard drive. Facing charges of assaulting a federal official with a deadly weapon and attempted assassination, Allen allegedly tried to breach security and shoot a Secret Service agent. No plea deal has been offered, and a trial date may be set at a scheduled August hearing — a chilling reminder of the dangers faced by public officials and the fragile line between chaos and control.
