  • Justice Dept releases footage of Trump shooting suspect

The US Department of Justice on Thursday released video footage of the man accused of trying to assassinate President Donald Trump last weekend. The nearly six-minute video features several clips of a man walking back and forth down a corridor, and through a fitness center.

A more dramatic excerpt shows the man, carrying what appears to be a long-barreled gun, charging through a security checkpoint past uniformed police and agents in suits. Jeanine Pirro, US attorney for the District of Columbia, said on X that the security footage also showed suspect Cole Allen "casing the area" in the Washington Hilton during the day before Saturday's attack at an annual media gala in the capital.
