Cole Allen Detained in D.C. Jail Following Attempted Assassination Charges
Cole Allen, a California resident, is currently detained at the Correctional Treatment Facility within the D.C. jail complex following charges related to an attack at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Allen, 31, faces charges of attempting to assassinate President Trump and two firearms-related offenses. He has not yet entered a plea. The facility, operated by the D.C. Department of Corrections, is known for housing individuals charged as adults, including previous Jan. 6 defendants. Allen is held in medical isolation under suicide watch, with strict observation protocols in place. His attorneys have argued for his release, citing his employment as a tutor, his active participation in his religious community, and his lack of criminal history. However, Allen has agreed to remain detained until his preliminary hearing scheduled for May 11.
