Texas Man Charged After CIA Breach Attempts Amid Trump Assassination Plot

Connor Mayo, 28-year-old from Fort Worth, Texas, is charged with three attempts to drive onto CIA’s Langley campus between Friday and Monday. A federal affidavit says he tried to enter on Friday, was ordered to leave, returned on Sunday by following a cleared vehicle under a raised barrier, and on Monday “peeled away from the security gate and accelerated into the compound.” He was stopped, cited for trespassing and warned that further attempts would lead to arrest. The affidavit also records a visit to Pentagon on Saturday. Mayo was released after a judge appearance and barred from leaving Washington, D.C., or returning to CIA or Pentagon facilities. His alleged trespasses coincided with Cole Tomas Allen’s attempted assassination of President Donald Trump at White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, resulting in federal charges of attempted assassination, firearm transportation and discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence.

Mayo faces a single count of criminal trespassing and a federal order barring him from CIA and Pentagon property. Allen faces three federal charges: attempted assassination of the president, interstate transportation of a firearm with intent to commit a felony, and discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence, carrying a potential life sentence on the assassination count.

Federal prosecutors provided the affidavit details and noted the travel ban. The CIA and Pentagon declined to comment on the investigation. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt described the dinner attack as “hijacked by a crazed anti-Trump individual” and said the administration is focused on security. No agency linked Mayo to Allen’s assault.

All sources agree there is no evidence connecting Mayo to Allen’s assassination attempt, but no investigative findings have been released. The lack of comments from the CIA, Pentagon, White House and Justice Department leaves unanswered questions about motive and whether the trespasses affected security protocols.
