Arrest at a high-profile DC dinner: suspect pleads not guilty in federal court

Cole Tomas Allen, 31, allegedly rushed a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner with multiple firearms and knives, was arrested after a gunfight with a Secret Service officer, and pleaded not guilty to four federal counts including attempting to assassinate the president; prosecutors later charged him in the shooting of a Secret Service agent. He traveled from California, is held without bond, and faces a June 29 hearing as the case moves toward discovery and further proceedings.

Federal judge rebukes DC jail conditions for White House dinner suspect

A federal judge condemned the D.C. jail for placing White House Correspondents’ Dinner suspect Cole Tomas Allen in 'functionally solitary confinement' on suicide watch, despite no criminal history, and ordered a psychiatric assessment and a review of his housing conditions. Allen, who faces up to life in prison if convicted of an attempted assassination of President Trump and related charges, has lawyers arguing the restrictions hinder access to legal documents and family, and that his treatment was harsher than that given Jan. 6 defendants. The housing decision remains pending as the court seeks more information.

The ruling comes amid ongoing legal challenges and regulatory scrutiny surrounding abortion drugs, with the FDA’s role and potential appeals likely to shape what happens next for patients and providers.
