Pirro said investigators have found no evidence to indicate that a Secret Service agent who was struck by gunfire was shot by another member of law enforcement, but did not elaborate on that claim.
The agent was not seriously injured because the shot was stopped by protective gear, authorities have said.
“Today, we are releasing video already provided to U.S. District Court showing Cole Allen shoot a U.S. Secret Service officer during his attempt to assassinate the President at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner,” Pirro wrote in a post on X, which contained the video.
“There is no evidence the shooting was the result of friendly fire. The video also shows Allen casing the area in the Hilton Hotel the day before the attack,” she said.
“My office along with the @FBI will continue this extensive investigation to bring Cole Allen to justice,” Pirro said.
Allen, 31, is charged with trying to assassinate Trump and other crimes.
Earlier Thursday, the Torrance, California, resident waived his right to challenge his detention in jail pending trial in the case in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., although his attorney said it retained the right to challenge it in the future.
