Assassin Off Suicide Watch, Defense Prep Blocked

Assassin Off Suicide Watch, Defense Prep Blocked

Published 3 weeks, 3 days ago
Description

Cole Allen, accused of attempting to assassinate President Trump, has been taken off suicide watch at the D.C. jail. His lawyers argued that the strict setup violated his due process rights. Allen faces attempted assassination and firearms charges from the April incident at the Washington Hilton. He was previously in medical isolation with round-the-clock monitoring but has now been moved to a new setup. His lawyers claimed that the jail limits blocked his defense preparation. Investigators confirmed that Allen fired one round, and Secret Service agents returned fire with five, likely stopping the bullet with a phone in an agents pocket. Allens initial court hearing was held on Monday, with no plea yet and a preliminary hearing set for May eleventh.
