Defense seeks to bar Pirro and Blanche over WHCD attendance

Lawyers for accused WHCD shooter Cole Allen asked a judge to disqualify U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro and senior DOJ official Todd Blanche, arguing their attendance at the press gala makes them victims/witnesses with potential conflicts of interest; prosecutors say Allen, charged with attempting to assassinate the president and other weapon counts, targeted Trump administration officials and was present near the dinner; the defense notes Patel's post-incident remarks; no plea has been entered yet.
