New Charge Filed Against Cole Allen in Assassination Attempt on President Trump

On May 5, federal prosecutors filed an additional charge against Cole Allen, the man accused of attempting to assassinate President Trump. The new indictment alleges that Allen assaulted a Secret Service officer with a shotgun while rushing through a security checkpoint outside a Washington press gala last month. The grand jury indictment now includes a fourth charge, adding to the original charges of attempting to assassinate President Trump and two firearms-related offenses, including discharging a weapon during a violent crime. Allen, 31, was arrested at the Washington Hilton after the incident. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, who was present at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, condemned the attack, stating that Allen was heavily armed and attempted to assassinate the President. However, Blanche praised the quick and courageous response from law enforcement, which prevented further harm. “Under the leadership of President Trump, violent political actors will never win; we will prosecute anyone who engages in these horrific acts to the fullest extent of the law,” Blanche said in a statement. The indictment follows earlier uncertainties about whether the bullet that struck the Secret Service officer was fired by Allen or a fellow officer. US Attorney Jeanine Pirro clarified on social media that there was no evidence suggesting the officer was injured by friendly fire. Secret Service Director Sean Curran also confirmed that evidence showed Allen fired the shot before being apprehended. The officer, who was shot at point-blank range in the chest, heroically returned fire and managed to shoot five times, according to Curran. Allen’s jail conditions have raised concerns, with Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui expressing worry about reports of Allen being held on suicide watch and in a constantly lit padded cell. Faruqui, troubled by these conditions, questioned whether they were excessively punitive. Allen had reportedly told FBI agents that he did not expect to survive the attack, raising further concerns about his mental state. Assistant US Attorney Jocelyn Ballantine highlighted that this raised potential concerns regarding suicide risk. The case has now been assigned to U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee who previously served as a police officer. As the case progresses, the additional charges against Allen reflect the severity of the attempted assassination and the significant impact on law enforcement and national security.

Security footage shows missed dog alerts before White House shooting

DOJ footage shows missed security dog alerts before shooting at WHCD A newly released video from the Justice Department has uncovered crucial details about the attempted shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner (WHCD). The footage reveals that a security dog alerted to Cole Tomas Allen’s presence twice, but these warnings went unnoticed, allowing the suspect to fire at a Secret Service officer before being detained. The video, shared by US Attorney Jeanine Pirro on social media platform X, shows Allen walking through the Hilton Hotel the night before the attack. In a chilling moment, the security dog reacts to Allen as he passes, signaling potential danger. However, despite these two distinct alerts, the handler fails to acknowledge the dog's warning, allowing Allen to continue his movement through the hotel. The footage captures the suspect armed with a shotgun, heading toward a security checkpoint where he shoots a Secret Service officer. The video highlights how Allen was moving through the hotel, appearing to “case the area” before the shooting. He can be seen walking through corridors and even passing through a gym in the hours before the more dramatic scene. The footage reveals Allen approaching the magnetometer checkpoint, where he charges past uniformed officers and agents, carrying a long-barrelled firearm. In a slow-motion clip of the video, a Secret Service agent fires three times at Allen, although police have confirmed that Allen was not shot. Instead, Allen was tackled and detained after a brief struggle with security personnel. The officer who was shot survived the attack, thanks to the protection provided by his ballistic vest. Pirro, in her statement, clarified that there is no evidence that friendly fire caused the shooting. She emphasized that the footage had already been provided to the US District Court for further legal action. Allen, a 31-year-old from California, has been charged with attempting to assassinate the president. If convicted, he faces up to life in prison. This latest video offers crucial insight into the incident, showing the missed warnings and the sequence of events that allowed the shooter to carry out the attack.
