'Pirro rips judge in Trump attack case for apologizing to Cole Allen over jail conditions'

"An irritated federal judge on Monday said it appeared that Cole Allen, the man accused of trying to assassinate President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, has been treated more harshly by a jail than it treated defendants in Jan. 6, 2021, attack criminal cases."

“ 'I can tell you I have never had a January 6th defendant who was put in 5-point restraints or a safe cell,' Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui told prosecutors and the top attorney for the District of Columbia’s jail system, during a hearing in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C."

"Faruqui said he found it “extremely disturbing” and was 'very troubled' that the 31-year-old Allen had been placed under suicide watch and had restrictions imposed without a finding that he was at risk for suicide and without having a criminal history."

“ 'A lot of people have seemed to forget about Jan. 6, but I have not,' Faruqui said. 'Pardons erase convictions but do not erase history.' "
