Cole Tomas Allen, the 31-year-old shooter at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, has been charged with attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump. An alleged photo of Allen standing next to TODAY show host Savannah Guthrie has gone viral, claiming he used to work as her driver and his wife works as her assistant.
However, fact-checking by Grok revealed that the claim comes from unverified profiles and there is no confirmation that the two have crossed paths. Credible sources confirm only the basic ID and background of Allen.
Additionally, there is no indication of Allen having been married, and reports indicate he lived with his parents in California. Many users slammed the wild claims made about Savannah and Allen, calling them 'trash' and 'fake news.'
Savannah Guthrie was in Tucson, Arizona when her mother, Nancy Guthrie, was reported missing, but has since returned to New York and resumed her job as the TODAY show host. Authorities are yet to release the name of any suspect in the Guthrie case, and DNA evidence is being examined by the FBI.
