Allen was indicted on four charges after his alleged attack on the president during the White House Correspondents' Dinner last month.

In addition to being charged with attempting to assassinate the president, he was also charged with assaulting a federal officer with a deadly weapon, discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence, and transportation of a firearm and ammunition in interstate commerce with the intent to commit a felony.

Allen appeared this morning before a federal district court in Washington, where he pled not guilty on all four charges.

After the plea, Eugene Ohm, the federal public defender representing Allen, asked the judge for Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch and U.S.

Attorney Jeanine Piero to recuse themselves, as both attended the event where the attack took place and might consider themselves victims.

When you think about it, who has more power than someone in Congress?

You know, power there is wielded on a daily basis.

They make laws, they repeal laws, they amend laws.

This is an incredible imbalance in the power between a perpetrator and a victim.

And I think that it is time for this to end.

Do you worry that that helps Vladimir Putin, though?

The court will hear oral arguments on Wednesday in the case of Trump v. Barbara, which centers on an executive order from President Trump's first day back in office.

The order would revoke birthright citizenship for babies born after February 19th of last year to non-citizen parents and would end the practice in perpetuity.

Barbara is a pseudonym for a Honduran woman whose child was born last October.

Trump's lawyers argue that the current practice of automatically extending citizenship to babies born within the U.S.

is a misinterpretation of the 14th Amendment.

The amendment states, quote, All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.

Arguments are set to begin at 10 a.m.

Eastern Time.

After the Supreme Court voided several of the president's tariffs in a ruling last week, Trump announced a blanket 10% global tariff rate.
