Press dinner gunman pleads not guilty to attempting to assassinate Trump

The man accused of running past Secret Service with loaded firearms and knives in an attempt to kill President Donald Trump during the White House Correspondent’s Dinner last month pleaded not guilty to the four charges he faces.

Prosecutors say Cole Tomas Allen stormed through a security checkpoint at the hotel where the annual press dinner was being held while the president and top administration officials were on a different floor.

Allen appeared before a federal judge in Washington, DC, on Monday, hands and feet shackled together and stood by his attorney as they entered the not guilty plea on his behalf.

Trump says Iran ceasefire is on ‘life support’ and proposes gas tax pause as strait stays closed

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday said the Iran ceasefire is on “life support” after rejecting Tehran’s latest proposal, which officials said included some nuclear concessions. Trump also proposed suspending the federal gas tax to help with higher fuel prices caused by the war.

The stalled diplomacy and recent exchanges of fire could tip the Middle East back into open warfare and prolong the worldwide energy crisis sparked by the conflict. Iran still has a chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for global oil and gas shipments, and America is blockading Iranian ports.

Asked at the White House if the ceasefire was still in effect, Trump said it’s on “life support.”

“I would call it the weakest right now after reading that piece of garbage they sent us,” Trump added. “I didn’t even finish reading it.”

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is once again lashing out at Democratic Senator Mark Kelly—this time for speaking freely about just how much ammunition the U.S. military has wasted in its war with Iran. 

Kelly told CBS’s Margaret Brennan Sunday that it was “shocking how deep we have gone into these magazines.”
