Cole Allen, the suspected attacker at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington on April 25, has withdrawn a request to be released from prison while his case is litigated.
Allen had challenged his detention in a court filing, arguing that he is not a flight risk, and citing his educational background and work as a tutor.
