Blanche: Suspect in WHCA dinner shooting not ‘cooperating’
Todd Blanche said the suspect appears to have acted alone and is facing firearm and assault charges after the attack.
- On Saturday, 31-year-old Cole Allen breached a security checkpoint at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, prompting Secret Service agents to evacuate President Donald Trump; Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche confirmed Sunday that Allen is not cooperating with authorities.
- Investigators believe Allen traveled from Torrance, California, to target administration officials, as a manifesto obtained by CBS News indicates he prioritized targets by rank, citing their "crimes" as motivation for the planned attack.
- Defending the security response, Blanche called the incident a "massive security success story" because the gunman "barely got past the perimeter" of a room containing over 2,000 people; one Secret Service officer was shot but survived.
- U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced charges against Allen for using a firearm in a violent crime and assaulting a federal officer, which prosecutors expect to file in federal court on Monday.
- The investigation into potential assassination charges continues as the FBI gathers information through interviews and existing evidence to determine premeditation, while Blanche stated it is "absolutely" possible prosecutors could pursue such charges against Allen.
