Butir peluru kaitkan tersangka dengan penembakan di White House Correspondents' Dinner

Satu butir peluru gotri yang ditemukan di rompi antipeluru agen Secret Service secara definitif mengaitkan tersangka Cole Tomas Allen dengan serangan di acara White House Correspondents' Dinner. Jaksa Amerika Serikat Jeanine Pirro merinci bukti tersebut di CNN, menegaskan bahwa Presiden Trump adalah targetnya. Allen menghadapi berbagai dakwaan seiring berlanjutnya penyelidikan.

Para penyelidik menemukan butir peluru gotri yang terselip di antara serat rompi antipeluru milik seorang agen Secret Service selama serangan di Washington Hilton pada 25 April 2026. Jaksa Amerika Serikat untuk Distrik Columbia, Jeanine Pirro, mengumumkan penemuan tersebut di acara State of the Union CNN pada 3 Mei 2026. Pirro mengatakan peluru tersebut berasal dari senapan pump-action Mossberg milik tersangka Cole Tomas Allen. “Itu jelas adalah pelurunya,” tegasnya. Allen, 31 tahun, asal Torrance, California, diduga menerobos pos pemeriksaan keamanan dan melepaskan tembakan ke arah agen tersebut saat acara makan malam berlangsung. Ia telah didakwa atas percobaan pembunuhan, melepaskan senjata api selama tindak kejahatan kekerasan, serta mengangkut senjata dan amunisi secara ilegal melintasi batas negara bagian. Pirro, yang menghadiri acara makan malam tersebut, menolak segala saran untuk mengundurkan diri dari kasus ini. “Sama sekali tidak. Maksud saya, tidak mungkin... kemampuan saya untuk menuntut kasus ini tidak ada hubungannya dengan keberadaan saya di sana,” ujarnya kepada pembawa acara Jake Tapper. Ia menjabarkan tindakan Allen, termasuk pelacakan telepon terhadap pergerakan presiden—seperti “Apakah presiden sudah berada di ruang dansa?”—dan sebuah manifesto di mana ia menyebut dirinya sebagai “Friendly Federal Assassin.” “Jelas, presiden adalah targetnya. Dan jangan salah, ini bukan hanya soal manifesto. Ini adalah tindakannya,” kata Pirro. “Orang ini merasa dirinya adalah Rambo.” Pirro menekankan latar belakang Allen, dengan mencatat bahwa ia memiliki gelar master dan pernah bekerja di Jet Propulsion Laboratory NASA, sebagai bantahan terhadap kemungkinan pembelaan terkait kesehatan jiwa. “Ia jauh dari gila. Ia sangat cerdas,” tambahnya. Penjabat Jaksa Agung Amerika Serikat Todd Blanche mengatakan kepada acara Meet the Press di NBC pada 3 Mei bahwa dakwaan tambahan dan surat dakwaan diharapkan akan segera keluar. Pengacara Allen tidak segera menanggapi permintaan untuk berkomentar.
