NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The defense team for Cole Allen, the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner shooting suspect, has filed a motion asking the judge to take him off suicide watch, arguing it violates his due process rights.During an emergency motions hearing set for Monday, Allen’s defense team will ask Judge Zia Faruqui to remove him from suicide watch, which keeps him on 24-hour lockdown in a "safe cell," so he can communicate with family and participate in his own defense."Such restrictions deprive Mr. Allen from accessing resources like a jail tablet, which would permit him to communicate with loved ones outside of the jail," the defense motion states.

The US government has evidence that a federal agent was shot by the suspect during an alleged recent attempt to assassinate Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, the US attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro said on Sunday.“We now can establish that a pellet that came from the buckshot from the defendant’s Mossberg pump-action shotgun was intertwined with the fiber of the vest of the Secret Service officer,” Pirro said on CNN.The suspect in the attack, Cole Tomas Allen, 31, allegedly ran past a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton hotel where the annual White House correspondents’ association dinner was being held.The attacker then fired a shotgun outside the doors leading into the ballroom where the US president, first lady Melania Trump and several senior cabinet members had gathered along with hundreds of journalists and their guests.Allen was charged last week with three federal crimes, including attempting to assassinate the president.Allen had shared social media posts comparing Trump to Adolf Hitler and encouraged others critical of his presidency to purchase guns, according to CNN.
