I get to marry the love of my life and I feel just like the luckiest girl in the world.
And a Trump is getting married. We'll tell you who. All that and more in just a moment on your AM Update. As President Trump is settling into his new administration, one of the top Democrats in Congress aiming to undermine the Trump agenda is Senator Dick Durbin. And according to our sponsor, the Electronic Payments Coalition, Senator Durbin has a new scheme, a government takeover of your credit card.
What updates are available on the Brown University shooter manhunt?
Today, Americans have thousands of choices in credit cards, but they say Senator Durbin's plan will result in less competition and less security. And that means more risk for your credit and identity. Learn more at GuardYourCard.com and consider telling your senators to stop Dick Durbin's government takeover of your credit card before it's too late. The Brown University shooter still on the loose. Providence, Rhode Island authorities yesterday giving an update but providing little new information. Police releasing enhanced video of what they're still calling a person of interest hours prior to the shooting. The same husky male seen in the videos released yesterday. Authorities again asking the public to search doorbell cameras and other devices.
for more footage that may have captured the subject. Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Nerona saying the video released so far contains the clearest images they have of this person of interest. On Tuesday afternoon, online sleuths noting Brown University apparently removing pages associated with a student touting left-wing ideology. Many speculating that student might be the suspect. AG Nerona weighing in on those reports.
I think this is an area where caution is really necessary. There are lots of reasons why a page might be taken down, particularly if there's chatter out there about words that were spoken. It's easy to jump from someone saying words that were spoken to what those words are to a particular name that reflects a motive targeting a particular person. That's a really dangerous road to go down. Really dangerous. If that name meant anything to this investigation, we would be out looking for that person. We would let you know we were looking for that person. You know, again, I think it's just a really dangerous road to go down.
Some wondering if the target of the attack was vice president of the Republican Club at Brown, Ella Cook, one of the deceased victims and a prominent conservative voice on campus. Providence Police Chief Oscar Perez saying authorities do not believe she was the intended target at this point. Three days removed from the attack, many growing weary and impatient. We spoke to retired FBI agent James Fitzgerald, known for his role in capturing the Unabomber, about what to expect. Fitzgerald says these video releases, even short clips, are encouraging steps that can further the investigation.
Who is Nick Reiner and what charges has he faced?
Good for them. They found some of this person, much like the J-5 bomber that he could kind of put him walking through some neighborhoods. They're sort of doing the same with this guy. And it does give a better picture in terms of height and weight. He looks like a white male, at least from a little bit of his face that we can see. None of this we knew before. I'm not sure the age, 20s to early 30s, perhaps.
