1:14Now PlayingTrump administration officials — “likely including the president” — were the apparent targets of the shooting at the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said.
In an interview with “Meet the Press,” Blanche cautioned that the belief is “quite preliminary” as law-enforcement officials sift through evidence. The acting attorney general said investigators had recovered the suspect’s “electronic devices” and that “there were some writings, and we’ve already spoken with several witnesses who knew him.”
Law enforcement sources described the writings to MS NOW as anti-Trump in nature but not aligned to one specific ideology. This is a developing story.
