Cole Tomas Allen filed a motion Thursday to have federal prosecutors disqualified from the court case in which he is accused of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump.
Allen’s legal team argued U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro and acting Attorney General Todd Blanche should be recused from the case because they have personal ties to the case. The federal prosecutors attended the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner that Allen is accused of attacking, making them ineligible to stand against him in court, the alleged gunman argued.
