Judge Apologizes for Treatment of Trump Gala Shooting Suspect in Jail

A U.S. judge has expressed concerns over the treatment of Cole Allen, who is facing charges for an attempted assassination of President Donald Trump. Allen was allegedly subjected to 'legally deficient' conditions in a Washington, D.C. jail, including suicide watch and restricted access to a Bible.

A U.S. judge issued an apology on Monday to Cole Allen, the man charged with attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump. The judge expressed alarm over the 'legally deficient' conditions imposed on Allen in a Washington, D.C. jail, including his placement on suicide watch and denial of a Bible.

The situation has sparked significant concern, given Allen's lack of any prior criminal history. U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui shared his dismay over the inappropriate treatment Allen, the suspect in the April 25 press gala shooting, faced in custody.
