Gala Shooting Suspect Pleads Not Guilty to Trying to Kill Trump

The man accused of trying to assassinate President Donald Trump at a Washington hotel gala last month pleaded not guilty during a hearing in federal court Monday.

Cole Tomas Allen, 31, has been charged with attempted assassination and gun offenses following a shootout April 25 with Secret Service agents at the hotel where Trump was attending the White House Correspondents’ Association annual dinner. A magistrate judge ordered him to remain locked up while the criminal case proceeds.
