The U.S. Department of Justice on Thursday (April 30, 2026) released video footage of the man accused of trying to assassinate President Donald Trump last weekend as he charged through a hotel security checkpoint and shot a Secret Service officer.
Jeanine Pirro, U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, said on X that the security footage also showed suspect Cole Allen “casing the area” in the Washington Hilton during the day before Saturday’s (April 25, 2026) attack at an annual media gala in the capital.
