And if this gets into the wrong hands, that could be really dangerous.
But first, an update on the alleged Trump shooter.
I'm Sonia Hudson, and here's the news you need to start your day.
The man suspected of firing shots during the White House Correspondents' Dinner is set to be charged in federal court today.
President Donald Trump was attending the black tie event on Saturday at the Washington Hilton when multiple shots were heard.
City officials said a suspect had run toward the hotel's ballroom entrance but was quickly apprehended by Secret Service officers.
Authorities say the alleged shooter was targeting Trump and other administration officials.
But U.S.
Attorney General Todd Blanch said yesterday they're still looking into the motive.
Blanch told ABC News that investigators had searched the suspect's home in California.
Trump told Fox News that the suspect had written a, quote, manifesto referencing administration officials and that family members had alerted the police beforehand.
U.S.
Republican Senator Tom Tillis said yesterday he'll allow Trump's pick for federal reserve chair to face a confirmation vote.
Tillis led a group of senators in blocking Kevin Warsh's nomination.
He was concerned about a federal criminal investigation into the current chair, Jay Powell.
Tillis and others saw it as part of a larger assault on the central bank's independence.
But prosecutors dropped the probe on Friday.
