Cole Allen Detained in D.C. Jail Following White House Correspondents' Dinner Incident
Cole Allen, a 31-year-old from California, is currently being held at the Correctional Treatment Facility within the D.C. jail complex. Allen faces charges of attempting to assassinate President Trump and two firearms-related offenses following an incident at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. The facility, which is newer than the main D.C. jail, has previously housed defendants from the January 6 events. Allen is being held in medical isolation under suicide watch, a standard protocol for new detainees. His legal team has requested the lifting of his lockdown restrictions, but the judge stated she lacks the authority to override jail protocols. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for May 11.
