Evidence and Motive

Prosecutors point to video, photos and an alleged manifesto as key evidence. Officials say Allen pre-scheduled emails to be sent during the attack window, including a resignation-style note to a former employer. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro has said "Clearly, the president is a target."

Defense Moves

Allen’s lawyers have asked the court to disqualify top Justice Department figures, citing the presence of U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche at the event and arguing an appearance of partiality. The defense now faces courtroom battles over the evidence.
