The acting US attorney general, Todd Blanche, stated that the gunman who tried to enter the White House Correspondents Dinner ballroom may have been targeting senior officials from the Trump administration. Speaking on CBS News' "Face the Nation" on Sunday, Blanche described the intelligence as "very preliminary" but confirmed investigators believe the suspect aimed at members of the former administration. The incident occurred Saturday night at the Washington Hilton, where Blanche was present alongside former President Donald Trump and hundreds of guests. According to Blanche, the suspect traveled from Los Angeles to Washington via Chicago by train and is not currently cooperating with authorities.
