Overview
- Federal prosecutors charged 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen on Monday with attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump after Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting.
- Review of multiple videos and a Getty caption showed Stephen Miller and a Secret Service agent positioned between the suspected shooter’s location and Katie Miller, countering the viral “human shield” caption.
- Katie Miller told Fox News on Monday that security instructed her to go first and said Stephen stood behind her protecting her and their baby, adding his hands were kept off her stomach because of her pregnancy.
- During the same interview she blamed California Gov. Gavin Newsom because the suspect is from California, a claim Newsom rejected as “absurd” while condemning political violence.
- Officials said a Secret Service agent’s ballistic vest was hit during the gunfire and guests were rushed out, with Cheryl Hines describing being lifted over chairs as security led evacuees through back routes.
