Pirro reveals new Trump attack evidence; Cole Allen challenges 'suicide precautions'
jeanine pirro said sunday that new ballistics evidence confirms cole allen's shotgun pellet hit a secret service agent's vest during the white house correspondents' dinner shooting last weekend. pirro told cnn's "state of the union" the buckshot was from the mossberg pump action shotgun allen allegedly carried. "it is definitively his bullet," she said.
allen, 31, of california, faces federal charges including attempting to assassinate president donald trump. the shooting left one agent shot but uninjured. prosecutors have warned more charges may come. it was the third attempt on trump's life since 2024.
meanwhile, allen's attorneys filed an emergency motion saturday asking the court to remove him from suicide precautions. they argue he has "exhibited no indications of suicidality" and that the precautions violate his due process rights by limiting visits, phone calls, and access to the law library. a jail nurse determined may 1 that he should be removed from suicide watch, but his lawyers say he remains under those protocols. the court scheduled a hearing for monday at noon.
