Live from NPR News, I'm Giles Snyder. The man being held in connection with Saturday night's shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner made his first court appearance today. 31-year-old Cole Allen faces three charges, including trying to assassinate President Trump. and PRS Ryan Lucas was in the courtroom.
This was Allen's initial court appearance. He was in the room wearing a blue prison outfit. He sat at the defense table with two public defenders who the judge had appointed as his counsel. Now, the magistrate judge explained the proceedings to Allen, asked Allen a few questions. He responded to many of those questions with either, yes, your honor, or no, your honor.
The judge also ordered this case unsealed, and Allen has been charged by criminal complaint with three counts, the most serious one attempted assassination of the U.S. president,

NPR's Ryan Lucas reporting. President Trump met Monday with his national security team. The White House says they discussed the latest Iranian proposal to bring the war to an end. The terms have not been made public. But the Associated Press is reporting that Iran is offering to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for an end to the U.S. naval blockade.
Iran also reportedly wants to set aside nuclear negotiations until after the war ends. Oil prices, meanwhile, above $109 a barrel. Today is Iran's 59th day of an internet blackout. The Internet Freedom Monitor, NetBlocks, says it's Iran's longest ever shutdown. But as Dury Biskarin reports, a few are still getting online.
NetBlocks reports Iran's internet use goes up to about 2% of normal levels. Specialized Virtual Private Networks, or VPNs, are being sold on the black market for about $10 per gigabyte of data. Google searches work intermittently. Iran does have a functioning internal web called an intranet, so services like local banking are still functional.

Dozens of homes have been destroyed and scores of people have had to evacuate. Many are clamoring to get back home. Brantley County Manager Joey Kaysen says officials are allowing some people to return home, but they should be ready to evacuate again if necessary.
Just understand that safety is the biggest concern that this whole group is worried about, trying to make sure that we get folks back in their homes as soon as possible, but safely as possible.
Fire officials say they're expecting more wind later in the week, which could spread the fire farther.
