US EditionProsecutors Release New CCTV Footage From Trump Assassination Attempt
Prosecutors say the footage shows Cole Allen checking the hotel before the attack as he faces charges of attempted assassination and weapons offenses.
- On Thursday, US Attorney Jeanine Pirro released new security footage showing 31-year-old Cole Allen shooting a Secret Service officer during his attempted assassination of President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on April 25.
- For days, questions swirled about whether a Secret Service agent had been struck by fellow agents in the chaos; investigators confirmed the officer was not hit by friendly fire, debunking online speculation.
- Footage reveals Allen was armed with a 12-gauge pump-action shotgun, firing at close range at the officer as he blew past the magnetometer; multiple agents returned fire almost simultaneously, with the wounded officer protected by his bulletproof vest.
- Allen remains in custody facing federal charges of attempted assassination and transporting a firearm across state lines; prosecutors signaled additional charges may follow as investigators continue analyzing devices recovered from his California home.
- In a 60 Minutes interview, President Trump called Allen a "would-be assassin" and "lone wolf whack job," saying he had been "stopped cold." The FBI continues analyzing the suspect's recovered devices for further evidence.
