What we know about the man in custody after the shooting at the
White House correspondents’ dinner, and how the incident
unfolded.

The man accused of storming the White House Correspondents’
Association dinner with multiple weapons was charged on Monday
with trying to assassinate President Trump.

Devlin Barrett, who covers the Justice Department, explains what
we know about the suspect, his plan to target the president and
whether the incident should be seen as a security failure or
success.

Guest: Devlin Barrett, a New York Times reporter
covering the Justice Department and the F.B.I.

Background reading:

‘Shots Fired!’: Inside the pandemonium at the Washington
Hilton.

Charges against the assassination attempt suspect were based
on a shotgun shell and a screed.

Experts said the security at the White House correspondents’
dinner worked as intended.
