White House Attack Attempt: Cole Allen Pleads Not Guilty

Cole Allen, charged with the attempted assassination of U.S. President Trump during a White House Correspondents' Dinner, pleaded not guilty. The charges also include assault on a federal officer and firearms offenses after allegedly firing a shotgun at a Secret Service agent during the attack.

Cole Allen, the man accused of attempting to assassinate U.S. President Donald Trump last month, has pleaded not guilty to multiple charges. The plea was entered by his attorney during a court appearance on Monday, where Allen himself remained silent.

The charges against Allen include attempted assassination of the president, assault on a federal officer, and firearms offenses. Prosecutors allege that Allen fired a shotgun at a U.S. Secret Service agent while attempting to breach a security checkpoint.

The alleged attack took place at the high-profile White House Correspondents' Dinner, targeting President Trump and other members of his administration. The plot, however, was quickly foiled by security details.
