Suspected Gunman Lawyers Seek to Disqualify DOJ Officials from Case
The legal team representing Cole Tomas Allen, accused of opening fire at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, has requested the disqualification of two top DOJ officials from his case. Allen's lawyers argue that U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, who were present at the event, have a conflict of interest due to their potential roles as witnesses and targets. The motion cites concerns about impartiality and the officials' public comments on the case. Allen faces charges including attempting to assassinate President Trump. The request for disqualification is based on the officials' attendance at the dinner and their subsequent involvement in the case, which Allen's lawyers claim could influence the prosecution's decisions.
