Cole Tomas Allen, charged with attempting to kill President Trump, will stay in federal jail until his trial. During a court hearing, he conceded to ongoing detention without entering a plea. His attorneys argued for his release, citing his lack of a criminal record and community ties, while questioning the government's case. Allen faces serious charges, including terrorism and firearms offenses, after allegedly carrying weapons into a secured area at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner before being detained.
"Allen was captured on a hotel video camera sprinting past U.S. Secret Service agents and into the secured event space a floor above the dinner while armed, according to prosecutors, with the shotgun, a pistol, and various knives."
"In addition to trying to kill Trump, a terrorism-related charge that carries a potential life sentence, Allen faces two firearms charges related to his allegedly transporting two guns across state lines."
