while watching how she was reacting

I have a suspicion that she is, in fact, the mole.

Well... I think that's a red herring.

Try to think like a pragmatic.

Allen is the only person with more information on the matter. If there is a spy on the council, the Viltrumites have the basic information, but not many details. Now that they are aware of it, Allen has become a liability. Not only could the Viltrumites try to extract that information from Allen, they already proved they are capable to do so and could try again.

Taking Allen out of the picture is one way to ensure momentary operational security.

If the Viltrumites get Allen to give up the intel, the coalition's chances ger slimmer. But with Allen gone, there is a chamce for the Coalition to learn more about Earth, ahead of the Viltrumites.

The mere potential of Invincible is a greater asset than Allen, and the latter is a potential liability in the protection of said asset.

I agree with you, and the fact that he apologized to Allen pretty much seals it for me, that he's trying to kill Allen to protect their information/themselves.
