WASHINGTON — A federal judge ruled Monday that Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro would not be removed from the case against White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting suspect Cole Allen.

Lawyers for Allen — accused of crashing the April 25 black-tie soiree armed with two guns and knives with the aim of killing President Trump and as many members of his cabinet as possible — had argued that Blanche and Pirro were hopelessly conflicted by their attendance at the Washington Hilton that evening, as well as their closeness with Trump and statements about the incident.
