Judge Moxila Upadhyaya Calls Out Prosecutors for Turning Cole Allen Hearing Into a 'Circus'

What Is Allen Accused Of?

Allen faces charges of attempting to assassinate the president along with two separate gun charges. He has not yet entered a plea. Federal authorities say he sprinted through a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton last Saturday, where the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner was being held, and opened fire on an officer before being taken down by law enforcement. President Trump was one floor below at the time, along with senior administration officials and roughly 2,600 guests.
