A man accused of trying to assassinate President Donald Trump at a Washington hotel gala last month pleads not guilty in federal court, according to reports from Bloomberg and RTE. The defendant enters the plea during a Monday hearing. Prosecutors have alleged that the suspect attempted to kill Trump at the event in Washington, where security and attendees were present. The case is being handled in federal court, with the next steps expected to include further proceedings related to the charges and the evidence. Both outlets describe the same core allegation: that the suspect attempted to assassinate Trump around the time of the gala and has been charged accordingly. While one outlet frames the location as a Washington hotel gala and the other refers to a White House press gala, they both report the same court action—his not-guilty plea—and the same overall allegation of an attempted assassination. No additional details about the specific charges, potential trial schedule, or motive are provided in the excerpts.
