Man Accused Of Trump Assassination Attempt Pleads Not Guilty

Cole Allen was in court Monday and pleaded not guilty to attempting to assassinate the president of the U.S. and more.

The man accused of attempting to assassinate President Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner entered a plea.

Cole Allen was in court Monday and pleaded not guilty to attempting to assassinate the president of the U.S., discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence, transporting a firearm across state lines, and assaulting a federal officer with a deadly weapon. More charges are expected for the 31-year-old California resident.

The charges come following the incident that unfolded on April 25 at the Washington Hilton. Allen allegedly breached through security and opened fire, striking an agent in the bullet proof vest they were wearing. No one was injured and Allen was detained.

Trump along with other top officials were in the ballroom, where Allen was believed to be heading. He is scheduled to return to court for a status conference on June 29.
