‘It’s Very Clear’: Jeanine Pirro Says There’s No Doubt Gunman Targeted Trump At WHCD
'It is not just the manifesto'
When another alleged would-be assassin set his sights on President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, the room was full of journalists across the political spectrum.
And despite the threat on Trump’s life, BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales believes their coverage of the event has only continued to prove the media’s bias and hypocrisy.
“You would think that when he was almost assassinated again and they were there to witness it, that maybe they might be able to fairly and accurately cover the story, but no, actually, they can’t,” Gonzales says.
“That’s actually just how bad they are and how evil they are. They just, in true arrogant, narcissistic fashion, they just wanted to make it about them,” she continues, before playing a clip of CBS News’ Weijia Jiang.
“This is a room full of reporters. So, I know you’ve already seen the president’s tweet. My apologies, his post on Truth Social,” Jiang said at the WHCD after the attempted assassination. “And law enforcement has requested that we leave the premises consistent with protocol.”
“I said earlier tonight that journalism is a public service because when there is an emergency, we run to the crisis, not away from it. And on a night when we are thinking about the freedoms in the First Amendment, we must also think about how fragile they are,” she continued.
“I saw all of you reporting, and that’s what we do,” she added.
“‘Our job is so dangerous,’” Gonzales comments, mocking Jiang. “‘It’s all about us. ... Our freedoms are under attack. The right for us to do our jobs is under attack.’”
“Actually, lady, the reason that we are in the position that we are in, where people are after the president as much as they are, is because you guys continue to misrepresent and distort reality and stir up a bunch of little activists who go on to then try to murder Donald Trump,” she continues.
“So, I’m just not having it from you. I’m really not,” she adds, pointing out that just moments before the attempted assassination, a journalist on CNN said that Trump “figuratively” wants “journalism dead.”
However, the coverage only got worse as the week went on.
“This one is going to take the award for the most disingenuous piece of s**t reporting from the most insufferable and arrogant excuse for a news anchor there is: Norah O’Donnell from ‘60 Minutes,’” Gonzales says.
“The so-called manifesto is a stunning thing to read, Mr. President. He appears to reference a motive in it. He writes this quote, ‘Administration officials, they are targets.’ And he also wrote this, ‘I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.’ What’s your reaction to that?” O’Donnell asked Trump in an interview.
“Well, I was waiting for you to read that, because I knew you would. Because you’re horrible people. Horrible people,” Trump responded. “Yeah, he did write that. I’m not a rapist. I didn’t rape anybody.”
“You should be ashamed of yourself reading that because I’m not any of those things,” he added.
“We all know what you’re doing,” Gonzales says, referencing O’Donnell. “He knows what you’re doing.”
“Stop embarrassing yourself,” she adds.

Former FBI Director James Comey is reportedly facing another legal hurdle from President Donald Trump's Department of Justice.
Comey is potentially facing his third indictment under the Trump administration as acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's DOJ pursues additional charges against the disgraced former director. This time, the DOJ is looking to indict Comey for allegedly leaking classified information, an accusation that Trump has frequently hurled at the former FBI head.
'James Comey, who is a Dirty Cop, one of the worst, knows this full well!'
This effort comes after the DOJ brought a second indictment against Comey for his infamous Instagram post in May 2025 with the numbers "86 47" displayed in a formation of seashells. The post was later deleted.
Just days after Trump was targeted in the third assassination attempt on Saturday, the DOJ argued that Comey's post was just another call for violence against the president.
"Threatening the life of the president of the United States will never be tolerated by the Department of Justice," Blanche said at a press conference Tuesday.

The phrase "86" in slang typically refers to getting rid of something, and Trump is the 47th president. Some argue that "86 47" was a call to remove Trump from office or to defeat him politically. At the same time, Trump and his allies have maintained that "86 47" meant "kill the president."
"'86' is a mob term for 'kill him,'" Trump said. "They say 86 him! 86 47 means 'kill President Trump.' James Comey, who is a Dirty Cop, one of the worst, knows this full well! EIGHT MILES OUT, SIX FEET DOWN! Didn't he also lie to the FBl about this??? I think so!"
Comey was also indicted in September for allegedly making false statements to Congress and for obstruction of a congressional proceeding, but the case was later dismissed.

Newly released court documents reveal that the third alleged would-be Trump assassin snapped a selfie just moments before opening fire at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday.
Just half an hour before the attack, the suspected gunman, identified as 31-year-old Cole Allen, apparently snapped a mirror selfie in his Washington Hilton hotel room showing firearms and ammunition strapped to his body.
'It was, at its core, an anti-democratic act of political violence.'
According to the new court documents, the image shows Allen smirking in the mirror while "wearing a small leather bag consistent in appearance with the ammunition-filled bag later recovered from his person," as well as a holster and two sheathed knives.
The documents also contain images of the shotgun, handgun, and knives the suspect was carrying when he rushed a security checkpoint and fired shots in the Washington Hilton lobby.
"Had the defendant achieved his intended outcome, he would have brought about one of the darkest days in American history," Assistant U.S. Attorney Charles Jones wrote.

Allen was ultimately charged with one count of attempting to assassinate the president, interstate transportation of a firearm and ammunition with intent to commit a felony, as well as discharge of a firearm during a violent crime.
"This was a planned attack of unfathomable malice that risked the lives of hundreds of people whose only transgression was attending an annual event celebrating the media and featuring the President of the United States," Jones added.
"It was, at its core, an anti-democratic act of political violence."

Late-night show host Jimmy Kimmel responded defiantly to calls demanding he be fired after joking about President Donald Trump dying before the latest assassination attempt.
Kimmel made the joke during a parody Thursday where he pretended to tell jokes at the White House Correspondents' Dinner and made one at the expense of the president.
'I agree that hateful and violent rhetoric is something we should reject. I do. And I think a great place to start to dial that back would be to have a conversation with your husband about it.'
Only two days later, an allegedly crazed gunman fired shots at the dinner after posting threats against the president and his administration online.
Kimmel replied to the backlash during his show Monday night.
"You know how sometimes you wake up in the morning and the first lady puts out a statement demanding you be fired from your job? We've all been there. Right?" Kimmel said.
He claimed the joke was not about the president dying but rather about the lack of joy on the first lady's face during their interactions.
"It was a very light roast joke about the fact that he's almost 80 and she's younger than I am. It was not by any stretch of the definition a call to assassination. And they know that," Kimmel said.
"I've been very vocal for many years speaking out against gun violence, in particular," he added. "But I understand that the first lady had a stressful experience over the weekend. And probably every weekend is pretty stressful in that house. And also, I agree that hateful and violent rhetoric is something we should reject. I do. And I think a great place to start to dial that back would be to have a conversation with your husband about it."
Both the president and first lady called for Kimmel to be fired for the joke.
"Our first lady, Melania, is here. Look at her, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow!" Kimmel quipped.
Kimmel's show was pulled off the air in Sept. 2025 after he suggested that the suspect in the killing of activist Charlie Kirk was a Trump supporter. He went back to his show only a few days later.
The first lady posted her comments on Monday.
"Kimmel's hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn't comedy — his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America," she wrote.
"People like Kimmel shouldn't have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him," she added.

Former FBI Director James Comey has once again been indicted by the Department of Justice, this time for an infamous social media post that appeared to threaten President Donald Trump.
Comey posted a photo to his Instagram last May showing seashells on a beach writing the numbers "8647," with the now-deleted post captioned, "Cool shell formation on my beach walk.” The phrase "86" in slang commonly refers to getting rid of something, and the number "47" is assumed to be a reference to Trump, who is the 47th president of the United States.
'This indictment comes just days after a crazed gunman attempted to assassinate Trump.'
The basis of this second indictment is that the post could be considered a threat to kill Trump, a threat that Comey has repeatedly denied.
“It never occurred to me but I oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down,” Comey said after deleting the post.

This indictment comes just days after a crazed gunman attempted to assassinate Trump, rushing through a security checkpoint in the lobby of the Washington Hilton, where the president, several Cabinet members, and hundreds of attendees were seated at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. The suspect, later identified as 31-year-old Cole Allen, allegedly opened fire and struck a Secret Serviceman wearing a bulletproof vest before being quickly subdued and apprehended.
A manifesto was later made public detailing Allen's alleged political motivations to kill Trump and members of his Cabinet. In light of the third serious assassination attempt against Trump, the DOJ has indicted Comey for the second time.
Comey was first indicted in September for making false statements to Congress and for obstruction of a congressional proceeding. The indictment was later dismissed and is no longer active.

Anti-Trump commentator Ana Navarro made a case for the idea that the latest attempt on the president's life might have been staged to distract the American public.
Navarro, who is a co-host of "The View," previously worked for the presidential campaign of the late Sen. John McCain but has become a bitter critic of President Donald Trump and his policies.
'People look at this and say, "Oh my God, is he trying to distract us again?" because that is what he does, right?'
On the Sunday edition of her "Bleep!" podcast, Navarro offered some reasons why people might think the Trump administration staged the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday.
"It's odd to me that in a place that is teeming with Secret Service, with Washington, D.C., police, with all sorts of law enforcement, this could happen," Navarro said.
"But also, I think people jump to the conclusion that it is staged because Trump lies. He lies constantly, daily, and pathologically. So people do not trust and do not believe anything Trump says. His lips are moving, the likelihood is, he is lying," she added.
"Also, this is a man who has mastered the art — forget the art of the deal — he has mastered the art of distraction," Navarro said. "Any time he finds himself in hot water, his numbers right now are down in the basement, his Iran war is incredibly unpopular, people are pissed as hell at the price of gas and the price of everything going up."
The Justice Dept. presented in a media briefing Monday the mountain of evidence so far collected to show that alleged shooter Cole Tomas Allen was motivated by left-wing animus to target the president.
"People look at this and say, 'Oh my God, is he trying to distract us again?' because that is what he does, right?" Navarro continued.
"He posts crazy things, and he does crazy things and says crazy things to distract us from the Epstein files, to distract us from his horrible [polling] numbers, to distract us from the failures and incompetence of his administration," she added.

On Monday, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced that Allen was charged with one count each of attempted assassination of the president of the United States, interstate transportation of a firearm to commit a felony, and discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence.
"Violence has no place in civic life," Blanche said. "It cannot and will not be used to disrupt democratic institutions or intimidate those who serve them, and it certainly cannot continue to be used against the president of the United States."

Cole Tomas Allen, 31, has officially been charged by the Department of Justice for the shooting that took place during Saturday's White House Correspondents' Dinner, including for the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump.
The suspect was seen on security cameras rushing through a checkpoint in the lobby of the Washington Hilton hotel before opening fire and shooting a Secret Serviceman who was wearing a bulletproof vest. The gunman was immediately detained, and his alleged manifesto later revealed his plans to target Trump and members of Trump's Cabinet.
As a result, Allen is facing three federal charges.
'This count is punishable by up to life in prison.'
"I want to make this clear," acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said. "This man was a floor above the ballroom, with hundreds of federal agents between him and the president of the United States. The Department of Justice approaches incidents like this with urgency and clarity of purpose."
"Violence has no place in civic life. It cannot and will not be used to disrupt democratic institutions or intimidate those who serve them, and it certainly cannot continue to be used against the president of the United States."

Blanche vowed to continue investigating the incident as well as the left-wing organizations Allen was reportedly affiliated with, saying he will "ensure that accountability is swift and certain."
"Today, the Department of Justice filed three federal charges in United States District Court against Cole Tomas Allen," Blanche said. "The first count is attempted assassination of the president of the United States. This count is punishable by up to life in prison. The second count is interstate transportation of a firearm to commit a felony. This is punishable by up to 10 years in prison. And the third count is discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence, which is punishable by a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of 10 years, a maximum of life."
