FBI Director Kash Patel

A man pleaded guilty to killing a Minnesota House Speaker and her husband, as well as shooting a state senator and his wife, while posing as a police officer. He faces two life sentences plus 40 years, and prosecutors will not seek the death penalty under a federal plea agreement.

The FBI is preparing a final report on at least a dozen cases involving missing or deceased scientists and defense-linked personnel, following a White House request to assess potential connections. FBI Director Kash Patel emphasized the bureau is analyzing state-level investigations but downplayed claims of a broad conspiracy, while President Donald Trump and the White House acknowledged ongoing efforts to determine if the incidents are linked.

A shooting occurred at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington, D.C., with suspect Cole Allen allegedly targeting President Trump and officials. Allen, who had a manifesto and social media posts detailing his intent, was apprehended by the Secret Service. He traveled cross-country and had prior history of radical statements.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) was questioned about whether Democrats should reduce anti-Trump rhetoric following a shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Raskin deflected the question, emphasizing criticism of Trump’s policies over personal attacks and defending the press. The FBI and Acting Attorney General are investigating the suspect, who is not cooperating.

Rep. Eric Swalwell resigned from Congress after sexual misconduct allegations involving five women, including a former staffer, and a criminal investigation by Manhattan prosecutors. His resignation avoided potential expulsion, but he suspended his gubernatorial campaign following widespread Democratic support withdrawal.
