Alleged Trump assassination plot: Analysis shows 1 in 5 left-wing posts cry hoax, admin shreds ‘moron’ claims

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

After a gunman allegedly attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump at Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, online conspiracy theories about the event spiked, according to a Washington Post analysis.

Cole Allen, 31, is in federal custody and has been charged with attempting to assassinate the president of the United States, transporting a firearm across state lines and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence after he allegedly charged a Secret Service checkpoint outside the room at the Washington Hilton Hotel where the dinner was being held.

President Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, First Lady Melania Trump, Second Lady Usha Vance and members of the Trump administration Cabinet had settled in for the evening just minutes before Allen’s alleged attack.

The Washington Post’s analysis says that one in five posts by “left-wing and liberal influencers and politicians” in the immediate aftermath of the attack claims that it was staged, a hoax or a “false flag.”

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, was perhaps the largest name among the conspiracy theorists, calling the incident “fake.”

Other far-left influencers online made similar suggestions.

Morgan J. Freeman, a Hollywood director and producer — not to be confused with actor Morgan Freeman — simply wrote the word “STAGED” in all capital letters 132 times in a single X post Sunday afternoon. The post received 58,000 likes, was shared 9,400 times and was viewed 1.3 million times.

The prevailing sentiment among conspiracy posters is that the alleged assassination attempt would benefit the 47th president politically.

“Anyone who thinks President Trump staged his own assassination attempts is a complete moron,” Trump spokesman Davis Ingle told Fox News Digital.

Allen was a Democratic activist who attended at least one “No Kings” protest, and once donated $25 to ActBlue, the progressive digital fundraising platform, which was earmarked for Kamala Harris’ 2024 presidential bid.

He sent communication to a family member before the alleged attack, according to authorities, rationalizing what he acknowledged was a mission that would likely severely harm or kill him.

He allegedly said his motivations were political, and painted himself as a savior of the oppressed. At points, officials said, he also noted that there were certain people he hoped wouldn’t be caught in the crossfire.

Illegal immigrant accused of killing newlywed couple in Oregon crash arrested by ICE after jail release

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

An illegal immigrant from India accused of causing a crash that killed a newlywed couple in Oregon has been arrested by federal immigration authorities after being released from jail, officials said.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said Tuesday that Rajinder Kumar, 32, was taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after being released by what the agency called “Oregon sanctuary politicians.”

Kumar allegedly jackknifed his semi-truck and trailer, blocking both lanes of U.S. Highway 20 in Deschutes County on Nov. 24, according to Fox 12 Oregon.

A Subaru Outback then collided with the truck, killing driver William Micah Carter and passenger Jennifer Lynn Lower, DHS said. The couple had been married for just 16 days.

DHS said Oregon officials declined to cooperate with ICE and released Kumar on April 2. ICE agents arrested him April 22 and he is now being held at the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma pending deportation proceedings.

Kumar has been charged with criminally negligent homicide and reckless endangerment, DHS said.

According to DHS, Kumar entered the U.S. illegally near Lukeville, Arizona, in November 2022 and was later released into the country by the Biden administration. He was granted work authorization in 2023 and obtained a commercial driver’s license in California.

Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis blamed California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration for issuing the license.

“This illegal alien was issued a CDL by Gavin Newsom’s California,” Bis said in a statement. “He then went on to recklessly drive a truck on America’s highways and KILL two honeymooners.”

“Instead of cooperating with ICE law enforcement, Oregon sanctuary politicians RELEASED him from jail back into American communities,” she added.

Bis said sanctuary policies endanger public safety.

“Every time sanctuary politicians release a dangerous criminal illegal alien back into our communities, they are gambling with American lives,” Bis added. “We are grateful to our ICE law enforcement officers who tracked this killer down to ensure he’s permanently removed from America’s highways and can never harm another American family again.”

Reagan shooter calls link to Washington hotel ‘spooky’ after alleged Trump assassination attempt at same site

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

John Hinckley Jr. called it “spooky” that an alleged assassination attempt against President Donald Trump occurred at the same Washington, D.C., hotel where he shot then-President Ronald Reagan decades earlier, according to a report.

The plot against Trump unfolded on Saturday night at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner at the Washington Hilton.

Authorities said the 32-year-old suspect, Cole Allen, of Torrance, Calif., stormed the venue and opened fire before he was arrested. A Secret Service agent was shot and injured in the attack.

Trump, the first lady and Cabinet officials were ushered out of the hotel by Secret Service agents – while members of the press were seen ducking for cover.

In an interview with TMZ, Hinckley Jr. called it “spooky” to learn that the shooting “took place at the same hotel as mine did.” He told the outlet that he found out about the attack when a newsflash popped up on his phone and he turned on the TV to follow coverage of it.

Hinckley said the security at the Washington Hilton is too “lax” and the hotel should not be hosting large-scale events.

Texas elementary school teacher accused of sexually assaulting child as police search for more victims

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

An elementary school teacher in San Antonio, Texas, has been arrested and charged with continuous sexual assault of a child.

Authorities said in a Facebook post Tuesday that Cecilia Mueller, 46, was taken into custody Monday after an investigation.

Police said they are concerned there may be additional victims and are urging anyone with information to come forward.

According to an arrest report, a 20-year-old man told authorities he had been in Mueller’s fifth grade class at Lewis Elementary School during the 2016-17 school year.

LOUISIANA SCHOOL’S TEACHER OF THE YEAR ACCUSED OF INAPPROPRIATE CONDUCT WITH FORMER STUDENT

Mugshot of Cecilia Mueller, 46

Throughout the year, he became one of her “favorites” and engaged in conversations about crushes and other inappropriate topics. Members of that group would sometimes eat lunch with her in a classroom, where he alleged she showed them explicit music videos and, on one occasion, a pornographic video, and played truth or dare, at times daring students to kiss each other.

He also said she instructed the students not to tell their parents, warning she could get into serious trouble.

The unnamed victim alleged his former teacher also kissed him in a closet in her classroom and engaged in other sexual acts. He said the abuse ended after the school year, when she reportedly told him not to tell anyone about what they did and to contact her when he turned 18, adding that it would “ruin him,” according to the arrest report.

Mueller worked in the Northside Independent School District (NISD), teaching at Lewis Elementary School until June 2019 before transferring to Henderson Elementary School in August 2019, where she has taught since.
