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.

Armed WHCD attendee targeted Trump, Pirro says, claims to prove beyond doubt

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro told CNN that the man who attended the White House Correspondents’ Dinner with a gun appeared to intend to assassinate President Donald Trump, based on his manifesto, and said the DOJ will prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt. The alleged gunman, Cole Tomas Allen, faces multiple charges including attempting to assassinate the president. Pirro noted the manifesto did not explicitly target any other officials, and Tapper pressed that point while Pirro defended the assertion that Trump was the intended target.
