Federal Agent Shot in Alleged Trump Assassination Attempt: Suspect in Custody

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro revealed evidence linking a suspect to the shooting of a federal agent during an attempted assassination of President Trump at a recent event. Cole Tomas Allen faces several charges, and further investigations may lead to additional indictments, according to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced Sunday that evidence ties a suspect to the shooting of a federal agent during a reported assassination attempt on President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents' Dinner last weekend.

Pirro stated on CNN's "State of the Union" that a pellet from the defendant's Mossberg shotgun was found embedded in the Secret Service officer's vest, confirming the suspect's involvement. The accused, Cole Tomas Allen, allegedly breached a security checkpoint and discharged his weapon in the White House Correspondents' Dinner foyer, leading to multiple charges, including attempted assassination.

Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche forecasted additional charges as the investigation progresses. He mentioned on NBC's "Meet the Press" that an indictment is likely as more information becomes available in the coming week.
