A federal magistrate judge on Thursday ordered that Cole Tomas Allen remain in custody after the man accused of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump waived his right to challenge his pretrial detention for the time being.
Allen, 31, told Magistrate Judge Moxila Upadhyaya during a hearing in Washington that he would not seek release ahead of trial, reversing course from a defense filing just a day earlier indicating he would push for bond. His attorney, Tezira Abe, said the decision was temporary and that Allen reserves the right to revisit the issue later.
