Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told CNN’s Dana Bash on Sunday that the alleged gunman who allegedly tried to force his way past a security checkpoint at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was not cooperating with authorities.
U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced late Saturday night that Cole Allen, a 31-year-old teacher from Torrance, California, had been charged with using a firearm in a violent crime and assaulting a federal officer. On “State of the Union with Jake Tapper and Dana Bash,” Bash asked Blanche how the Department of Justice had gathered information on Allen, who had told authorities he was targeting Trump administration officials, according to the New York Post.
