Chapter 2: What happened at the White House Correspondents Dinner shooting?
The man being held in connection with Saturday night shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner made his first court appearance Monday. 31-year-old Cole Allen faces three charges, including trying to assassinate President Trump. NPR's 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. The other two charges are both related to the guns he allegedly had on him on Saturday.
NPR's Ryan Lucas reporting. According to the Associated Press, Iran has offered to end its control over the Strait of Hormuz if the U.S. lifts its blockade and ends the war. Meanwhile, the Trump administration's ambassador to the U.N. says Iran should not be allowed to use the Strait of Hormuz as a bargaining chip.
NPR's Michelle Kellerman reports on a high-level meeting on the subject in the Security Council.
U.S. Ambassador Mike Waltz says the Strait of Hormuz is too important to the global economy to be choked off or attacked by those he calls two-bit pirates.
This strait is not Iran's to wield opportunity. like its own moat and drawbridge. It is not Iran's hostage. It is not Iran's bargaining chip. It is not Iran's toll road.
Russia's ambassador says it's not pirates threatening maritime security, but Western countries with what he calls their lawless actions, including sanctions and seizing vessels. China's ambassador says the root cause of the blocked Strait of Hormuz is what he calls the illegal military actions by the U.S. and Israel against Iran. Michelle Kellerman, NPR News, the United Nations.
