tomorrow morning, so we may learn more then.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told CBS News' Face the Nation that the suspect in custody is not cooperating with investigators.
Blanche did not name the individual, but two sources familiar with the matter tell NPR the suspect is 31-year-old Cole Allen from Torrance, California.
Blanche says investigators are combing through evidence they've gathered so far, including from the suspect's electronic devices.
Based on preliminary information, Blanche says the suspect is believed to have traveled by train from Los Angeles to Chicago and then on to Washington, D.C., where he had a room at the Hilton Hotel where the correspondence dinner was taking place.
Investigators believe the suspect was targeting Trump administration officials, but Blanche says they are still looking into a potential motive.

Attorney for Washington, D.C., Jeanine Pirro, says in a statement on X that her office is closing its investigation into Fed Chair Jerome Powell over cost overruns in the renovations of the Fed's headquarters.
Pirro says instead the Federal Reserve's inspector general has been asked to examine the cost issues.
The Justice Department's investigation into Powell generated major blowback for the Trump administration when the probe's existence became public earlier this year.
It prompted North Carolina Republican Senator Tom Tillis to threaten to block President Trump's pick to replace Powell at the Fed, Kevin Warsh, unless the DOJ dropped its investigation.
Now the decision to do exactly that appears to clear the way for the Senate to move forward
