“The man charged with allegedly attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump at a White House Correspondents’ Association dinner last month pleaded not guilty at a Monday arraignment in federal court. Cole Tomas Allen, 31, wearing an orange shirt and trousers, was handcuffed and shackled as he was brought into the courtroom in D.C. federal court. His handcuffs were attached to a chain around his waist, which clanked as he was led to the defense table. Speaking on behalf of Allen, federal public defender Tezira Abe said her client ‘pleads not guilty to all four counts as charged,’ including attempting to assassinate the president of the United States, in connection with the April 25 incident at the Washington Hilton Hotel.” (05/11/26)
